I have also recently gotten off the phone with NetSol about this. The
guy I talked to said that its the expiry date that counts, NOT the
invoicing date.
Having said that, this guy had no clue about the new NetSol
acknowledgement email going out nowadays. I had to convince him
to ask his supervisor and he finally believed me.
So I'm not sure I believe him. He said that the new NetSol ack request
goes out automatically when they receive the registrar xfer request.
I have not gotten mine from a domain I filed saturday, nor have I gotten
another one on one I filed today.
So he is checking on this and I will apprently hear back from him by
EOB tomorrow.
Jury is still out on this one IMHO, I would not put it past NetSol to
try something like this.
