Show your client the WHOIS for GM.com, EDS.com, Oracle.com, etc. (anyone know of other elite US corporations using OpenSRS?). BTW, I'm surprised GM.com and Oracle.com have under 4 months until expiry! Hopefully they have auto-renew enabled, or something (names like that should be renewed for 10 years!). I'm not sure what the costs are, but Tucows might consider getting one or more extra registrar accreditations, and then be able to offer their clients a choice of legal jurisdictions for their registrant agreements. e.g. I can choose the Canadian one, given I live in Toronto. An American might want to choose the US one (although, they might be better off with the Canadian one -- fewer frivolous lawsuits in Canadian courts, given losers typically pay the legal costs of winners). A European might pick the British or German jurisdiction, and so on. Sincerely, George Kirikos http://www.kirikos.com/
