Must be because they are busy with free transfers :-) :-) <marc> Well, in fact I sold this name for a modest fee to someone in Denmark, but the buyer does not reply to emails. He did pay. So I am not worried. And I have more of this stuff :-) Unfortunately I do email on a unix console, so I cannot advertize the names here :-) </marc> ?.com (Euro.com) was recently snapped with namewinner. I lost because I hadn't removed my $100 limit. Silly me. <marc> > You should simpley enter xn--eba.com in your nameservers instead of > bq--actq.mltbd.com and your �.com Domain will work again. Did I block emails to me, pointing this out to me? All our IDN names are with Tucows. Did Tucows send me a message to change DNS? I am not making Tucows responsible for all the hunger in the world. But where I am supposed to learn these things, in time? Nobody's business depends, I hope, on IDN names, but it is a bad sign, that we learn about changes by 'accident'. Bad for the 'industry'. Bad for the holy 'stability'. </marc> Verisign converted the domains to puny code overnight. I don't know where I get it from anymore . But I think it was from one of the smaller German registrars. About the DNS: I had to search for the information myself. I think most support people of the registrars are too confused about that stuff. Following document explains all: http://www.verisign.com/nds/naming/idn/ns_config_guide.pdf <marc> > see www.ausw�rtiges-amt.com for example. The German foreign ministry has surely lots of people to monitor these things. My one-person company fails to keep up. Maybe I should leave the business? </marc> Yes, it points the a website of the German foreign ministry, but it is registered by a person of the registrar (dd24 / rrpoxy) where you get your information regarding multiligual .org domains. I think they expect to get further business from the ministry for this kind of "protection service". Or they registered it in the name of the ministry. <marc> I may sound bitter. But I truly think we should be notified of this type of change. No? </marc> A company like tucows who is charging their reseller $10 for domain names should be able to follow the process and inform their resellers about any major changes. <marc> > I already asked Netsol to clarify. Please, share any reply. Thanks! </marc> sure. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Marc Schneiders" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: "James M Woods" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, January 09, 2004 12:17 AM > Subject: Re: Multilingial .ORG domains deleted? > > > > We are being scr*wed.
