I forgot to mention in a prior posting that I think the "queuing" information in the scheduled maintenance notice is just boilerplate text and the person sending the notice didn't realize or understand what it meant. The same goes for the "outage affects all registrars equally"--that statement does not apply when OpenSRS is shutting down their systems for maintenance in addition to the registries maintenance since all other registries do not use OpenSRS to function (i.e. the only part that affected all registrars was the Verisign maintenance)... I believe Tucows needs to do a better job in reviewing the maintenance notices to make sure they are completely accurate before sending them out.
