IMHO, This WLS scheme would also put pressure on current domain holders to renew their domains for maximum allotted period (10 years). I would think Verisign would send our more notices to every registrant be it a domain registered with Opensrs, scaring them into switching to Verisign. This would create more confusion, loss of business to current registrar, loss of time for resellers who have to spend their time explaining this system to registrants. Jeff.
