That is a good point that I did not take into account when I wrote the previous email. ***BUT*** the whole point of the tucows.us web site is to allow visitors to find an RSP that is "currently" registering .us domain names. To quote from www.tucows.us:
"Please choose one of our authorized suppliers of .us. Just click on a link and you can proceed to process your .US registration." If you click on most of these links you can NOT "proceed to process your .US registration." (My opinion is that) As soon as RSPs start offering .us from their web sites they should be listed on the tucows.us web site.
