Hi, I have recentally decided to start accepting .cc registrations, so last night I duly faxed off my agreement, and got confirmation this morning informing me to post the relevent agreements on my web page before I can go live.
Now, I read though the .cc agreement (http://resellers.tucows.com/opensrs/cc/cc_exhibit_a), and it pointed me to the http://www.nic.cc web page. So I visit that and am taken to enic.cc - a Versign company where I find out that they are selling .cc domains retail for $30, and even have a buy one get one free offer going (until 15 July). Now I am not trying to start another pricing debate, but if everyone who is thinking of registering a .cc domain on my site reviews the agreement like a good citizen, then they find a competing company who is offering the same service but for less, I will probably loose some of them. Since I have to post this agreement, and they are supposed to read it - what can I do? Not only am I advertising the competition on my own site, but I am actually forcing my users to visit their site! On comparison to the .com/.net agreement, there are only ICANN links which I think are pretty safe. So what is the deal? Cheers, Will.
