This makes us look like a contact on the domain. Is that the way that OpenSRS really looks at us? I could get along with this -- in a way we are a "contact" regarding the domain. But I really don't like looking at it this way, with the RSP as just another "domain name contact" kind of like the admin/tech/billing contact. In my mind, only the registrant should specify "contact" information. This is how I look at things: WHOIS was designed to distribute REGISTRANT information about a domain name. Registrar tech support contact information like this doesn't *really* belong in WHOIS at all, but rather on the registrar's website. However, we need RSP tech support info listed because of the reseller model that OpenSRS employs. So, IMHO, the RSP tech support info should be very clearly separated from the registrant information in the WHOIS. Ideally, I'd place the RSP info at the very bottom, below all else, separated by a dashed line. A little blub could give an overview of the reseller model, thus answering the "who is Tucows" questions. I think this would best resolve any confusion that a registrant might have. Example: }} ============================================ }} }} This domain name registration is being provided through the OpenSRS }} system (a division of Tucows) by the following company. Please contact }} them for technical support regarding this domain registration. }} }} DRH Internet Inc. }} 410-461-5316 }} http://www.drh.net/ I wish I had suggested this earlier. :-) But, as I said, I can live with the existing proposal. I've been kind of worn down by all the discussion and the Big Delay from OpenSRS in getting a proposal back to us. :-) David
