Edwin - I directed your questions to the Verisign rep in the DNSO Registrar Constituency - the continuing thread can be found here...
http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/registrars/Arc01/msg02360.html ...not much useful information yet, but I am the eternal optimist - ideally we will get a reasonable answer from VRSN on this particular domain, if not the larger problem. -rwr ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edwin Culp" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, April 21, 2002 10:42 AM Subject: Yet another trick from Re: Netsol again... <snip> Quoting Chris Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: | If you get an answer, I'd be interested in it. I have the exact same problem | w/a domain that was originally registered through Netsol, transferred to | Registrars.com, and now back to Netsol since they acquired Registrars.com. | | They are saying the domain expired a year ago when the WHOIS says that it | expires this year so they are declining the transfer. When I asked them | about it, their reply was that WHOIS is "purely cosmetic" and doesn't | necessarily reflect the correct expiration date. The best part is that they | were happy to start sending me expiration notices every few days like the | domain is expiring soon but when I try to transfer they say that it expired a | year ago. | | Chris NetSol does seem to have a problem but, surprisingly, it always seems to be in their favor:-). [I've been off the list for about three months so please forgive me, and thanks in advance for letting me know if the following has been posted before.] NetSol has been sending me renewal notices for domains that I transfered to OpenSRS months ago. They authorized the transfer but it would seem that they didn't remove them from their billing software. The "purely cosmetic" public whois shows this clearly. I have just been ignoring them and haven't had a problem yet:-). A partial example follows: "purely cosmetic" whois with expiration date cut and pasted: Domain Name: AHORITA.ORG Registrar: TUCOWS, INC.
