Consider that the registry provides up to 45 days after a domain's expiry before you can NOT get a refund on the "auto-renewal" (domains automatically renew at expiry, anything else that happens is registrar business rules).
If a domain still isn't available at 47 days then there's an "afternic" type things happening, or they can't delete the domain (has latent nameservers, yada yada), or what not :) Charles Daminato OpenSRS Product Manager Tucows Inc. - [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of ezgoing > Sent: August 21, 2002 7:13 PM > To: Swerve; opensrs discuss > Subject: Re: [Re: Domain release times] > > > 40 days is opensrs policy. > > Other registrars have different policies. > > Bulkregister and enom have a random period.
