please help - redemptionperiod

[Rr Wex]

hi,

we have a domain in redemptionperiod that we want to renew urgently.  i know 
it has been discussed here but i'm unable to search the mailing list 
archives at

http://rrc.tucows.com/getting_started/lists

there is supposed to be a substantial redemption fee (i think i remember 
reading in this list it was US$90?) and we are supposed to write to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to redeem the domain. Is that still correct or is there an 
update to this?  Will someone from [EMAIL PROTECTED] get back to us in one 
day or is ther ea faster way to do it?  can the fee be taken from our 
existing reseller account at opensrs?  sorry we are feeling very urgent 
about this.  any other information appreciated.

I am basing this on information here

Redemption Period for .com and .net

The registry operator for .com and .net (including Internationalised Domain 
Names) has implemented a 3v0 day Redemption Period. The Redemption Period is 
applicable for domain names that have expired and is in addition to the 
grace period that follows the expiry of a .com or .net registration. Domains 
names that are not renewed within 40 days of their expiry date can now be 
restored during the Redemption Period that starts 45 days following the 
expiry date and ends 75 days following the expiry date.

The Redemption Period differs from the Grace Period in several important 
aspects.
Domain names must be 'redeemed' before they are renewed. The redemption 
process established by the registry is a separate, manual procedure that 
must be completed before the redeemed domain can be renewed.
The Registry charges a substantial Redemption Fee to redeem a domain name. 
The redemption fee is in addition to the standard renewal fee.
During the Redemption Period the Verisign Global Registry WHOIS will show 
the domain status as "REDEMPTIONPERIOD".
The Redemption Period provides a final opportunity for registrants to Renew 
a domain they did not intend to let expire. However, the process is costly, 
both in fees and in effort. Registrants should be discouraged from using the 
Redemption Period and encouraged to renew domains before expiry or during 
the grace period when a renewal can be conducted with the registry in real 
time and for no additional cost.

• If you have customer who needs to make use of the new Redemption Period 
for .com and .net please contact your Account Representative or 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] for more information.
