We
have already de-emphasized .info registrations. (months
ago).
I'm
sure the Afilias team members are great people. I've spoken to some.
But the company position and methodology is a failure.

Subject: Re: Registrar extends bidding on .info LR2 weeks PAST notification!
Is it just me, or is there something VERY wrong about this? ST
The best thing to do:
Write to Afilias a protest note.
Ask Afilias to reject all submissions from Directi.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
A lots of people are complaining, but none of them seems to be acting.
(I just wrote an email to Afilias)
This is in my opnion clearly again the Afilias-Registrar contracts.
A registrar is not allowed to register only on behalf off himself.
Thats what directi is doing.
- doing a 'market research' which names are 'high value'
- trying to register the results of the market research
- selling the successful registration (auction in July)
There is another reason why everybody should protest against this practice
by sending an email to Afilias:
Already now .info is no more very attractiv for webmasters because of the
numerous problems with transfers. Myself I had probelms with 4 registrars which are
refusing let transfer away a .info to Tucows.
And Afilias support is always very friendly, but they do not act.
(they refused to do a registry transfer to another registrar in all cases)
If Afilias will tolerate all these bad practices, .info will end as a non important
domain name like .cc
And you will loose all your small investments you have done by reservating a
few .info for yourself. (I suppose every member of this list will a 5-10 nice .info
resevred for future use)
