Hopefully it is just badly worded and actually means the agreement secures the registrant's right to consent (or not) to the auction, as opposed to automatically having everyone's consent.

Is that actually correct? That is, has Tucows modified the registration agreement so that even if a registrant does not explicitly give permission for a domain name to be auctioned, Tucows would auction it anyway? I'm assuming that's a mistake, because I don't see such a change when skimming: https://rrc.tucows.com/wholesale_services/domain_names/exhibita ... but clarification from Tucows would be appreciated. -- Robert L Mathews, Tiger Technologies http://www.tigertech.net/ "Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge." -- Darwin
