Actually, I hadn't thought about it much at all since they broke up the NSA/InterNic monopoly and I buried my head in a router or two... Where could I find the guidelines that these companies are suppose to follow relative to domain registration services? ICANN? Who's running these things? Spamford Wallace?

I make virtually nothing on most of my transfers since there is so much manual intervention involved. I only hope that these customers don't transfer out to eNom or GoDaddy to save a few bucks now that I have managed to wrangle them away from Joker, Register.com and Verisign... Remember that if you renew at Register.com and then transfer within 45 days, you'll lose the renewal period you added to your domain... -t > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Karyn Ulriksen > Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2002 4:18 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Dancing with Register.com > > > Like most Tucows resellers, I'm currently trying to transfer > my personal domains into the Tucows fold from another > registrar.
