The general public can only access domain names through a registrar. Do registrars, or more specifically opensrs resellers have access? Yes, see my previous message (below)... it probably isn't the best access, but it is access. <off topic> Most of the more serious speculators in the .ca secondary market place their orders with more than one .ca registrar for their TBR domains. There seem to be between 20 and 30 .ca registrars which queue requests for TBR domains and automatically submit them as fast as they can at the stroke of noon. If there are domains you "must have", I would advise playing the game that way, and then (optionally) transfering the domains to your opensrs profile. </off topic> -Tom > > tx, > > Swerve > > > > > From: Tom Brown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Date: Fri, 7 Mar 2003 11:26:14 -0800 (PST) > > To: Nicolas Ross <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: Re: OpenSRS Live Reseller Update [.ca] - 06/03/2003 > > > > On Fri, 7 Mar 2003, Nicolas Ross wrote: > > > >>>> So, on march 20, thoses names will be released.
