Well lets see if I can clear this up, all of this is based on information
received from Afilias.
Yes, the .info land rush does begin 12 Sept and names will begin to resolve
on the 19th. This corresponds to the end of the first round.
Registry Live has still NOT been announced according to my most recent
update - however I would anticipate a registry live start date of
approximately October 19, 2001. Once we have this information we will pass
it on.
P.S. I'm the new guy at OSRS
