I don't know offhand if domains were affected, but I'm escalating this to
VeriSign as we speak. Please send me a list of domains that you KNOW were
affected immediately offlist so I can include that in the email. I'll post
it to them as a potential problem issue with us as a registrar, using
'proof' from real domains that other registrars acted upon.
Just give me a sample, domain, real expiry, new expiry, and registrar that
acted "accordingly" :)
