And, just to add a little fuel to the fire, if you start to process a renewal on a domain they have with Core, they advise that they will be moving it to ICANN.. It certainly would appear that they are deliberately denying any moves away of their old Core clients in the hopes that they will transfer to TotalNIT as the Registrar..
Hmm.. Smells badly of anti-competitive nature.. It would be heart-breaking if they lost their ICANN Registrar status...
