Well, I'm not sure on what you mean by "easy" -- but what you described
would be great, especially if it comes with the delete with refund
functionality within the 4-5 day window.

None here.

I don't believe that these are all that great. I think there should be
another way of gaining this trust -- I think we should qualify for it, but
we don't have 500 sponsored names at this time.
It should be worth noting that a significant move towards Tucows should
also help the trust issue. One year ago, we had 0 domains with Tucows,
and about 400 with NSI. Now we have almost 400 with Tucows, and are
working on getting the last 50 or so over, as well.
