Hmmm. I reported an OpenSRS reseller using the ICANN logo to compliance 
over six months ago. The compliance people wrote back to me to say that 
they would look into it, and nothing happened; the company is still using 
the logo and still offering OpenSRS registrations. 

The site even says "<company name> is an ICANN approved Registrar" next 
to the logo (and no, the company is definitely not a registrar in 
addition to being an OpenSRS reseller -- it's a small one-person Web 
design company, he offers domain name registrations solely through 
OpenSRS, and the "Manage Your Domain" link points to 
"manage.opensrs.org").

Worse, the company owner knows he is not entitled to use the logo and 
that he isn't an ICANN registrar (I pointed this out to him in an e-mail 
exchange), and doesn't seem to care.

I'm sending a reminder with details to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and to 
Joey.
