No we don't. And I truly believe this is a violation of the spirit if not the letter of ICANN policy, and before OpenSRS stopped the policy it looked like Dan Halloran (ICANN's Registrar Compliance officer) was thinking along the same lines. And if it turns out not to be against the letter of the policy, then policy needs to be developed ASAP to prevent this type of thing. -- Best regards, William X Walsh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --
