Exactly correct. The registrar wants to show the registrant has not paid the registrar a renewal fee. The registry shows the real expiration date (i.e. the registrar paid $6 to the registry to hold the domain another year). Remember this domain is well past the grace period. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "'Discuss List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, February 13, 2003 6:59 PM > Subject: RE: REDEMPTION PERIOD > > > > > Maybe their records aren't entirely in sync or those values aren't the > > > ones being used? > > > > > > I see one domain that has: > > > Record expires on 04-Sep-2002 > > > > > > Yet is in REGISTRAR-HOLD and shows: > > > Expiration Date: 02-sep-2003 > > > > REGISTRAR-HOLD has nothing to do with REDEMPTIONPERIOD.
