just a quick note here. myself and the two other senior folks who would respond here are at ispcon and james is at the traffic conference so the limitation on a detailed response is simply logistics not will. my goal is (family willing) to get it out over the weekend.
a few quick notes (real quick). the two days notice is wrong, we agree, we think something like two weeks would have been more appropriate. I could give explanation (and may to some extent in the longer response) but want to be clear it is just that, explanation not excuse. the notice should have been longer. second, my longer response will provide more details. the whole picture is necessary to understand this. what we will provide will be, we think, reseller-friendly and registrant-friendly. we know it will be WAY more so than what anyone else will be doing, but we do not like to judge ourselves by those standards. being at ispcon has allowed me to discuss this with a great number of resellers. we had a reseller event here tuesday night that was well attended and I talked about this in some detail. I have also had a number of conversations at the booth about it. I am not aware of one reseller who was unhappy, wanted to opt out or expressed any ethical concerns. in fact I would describe the response as positive and appreciative. the more they understood and the more detail they had, the better they felt. sorry, but got to run. that's all for now.
