I seem to remember the upgrade program...unfortunately at the time, I had no customers threatening to go to another registrar if we didn't offer them an upgrade otherwise I would have been all over it...
This issue will become more important after the .NAME registry goes live and marketing efforts are cranked up...(i know i'm starting to sound like a broken record but i'm getting pounded by a handful of customers who weren't as forward thinking...it is quite reasonable to expect to be able to add the service later). -bryanw -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Charles Daminato Sent: Wednesday, June 12, 2002 7:34 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 'Bryan Waters'; 'Discuss-List@Opensrs. Net' Subject: RE: .NAME e-mail bundle upgrades Actually (and I apologize for Ross here)... The registry DOES provide for upgrades. Currently the OpenSRS system does not. We're looking into possible solutions (including transfers/renewals of email forward as a seperate object than domains), but it's a significant architecture change to get this to work properly (and have no impact to our channel). In the interim, if you want email you MUST get it when you purchase the domain. Going forward, we'll keep you up to date (we did offer a limited "upgrade" program, but the responses were negligible so we re-canted) Charles Daminato OpenSRS Product Manager Tucows Inc. - [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ross Wm.
