Re: Defensive Practices Against Rogue Registrars

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

We aim to protect our clients. For quite a while we have listed our 
company's contact details for our clients domains:

The Organization Name and the Admin Name are the client's.
The mailing address and phone numbers are ours.
The e-mail address is either ours, or a [EMAIL PROTECTED] which 
forwards to us.
The Tech and Billing info is ours.

We get all the phone calls and junk mail. We diligently monitor for 
expiration dates. We haven't lost any domains, nor any clients, doing this.

Time wise it is so efficient for us. Before this our clients used to get 
3-4 snail mail 'invoices' and a half dozen e-mails scaring them about 
losing their domain names. Then they'd contact us in a panic and be annoyed 
that we screwed up.

Nonetheless a few clients have been contacted directly by some unscrupulous 
registrars directly through our clients websites. The biggest offender is 
the Domain Registry of Canada.
