By the way, I've noticed that the end of my original email was cut off. Here's what I intended to finish with.
Dave The order of the introduction of these four elements is driven by the importance of traffic information. The nameserver change for expired domains is a first step in gathering information. It is now scheduled for October 31. We are adjusting the implementation of this change to begin 15 days post expiry. This will better coincide with the proposed timing of the parked pages program for expired domains. Under the current process, a domain that has not been renewed is locked and does not resolve. In the future, 15 days post-expiration, we will change the nameservers for any domains that have still not been renewed. The DNS settings will be replaced with the Tucows hostname ns1.renewyourname.net and ns2.renewyourname.net. The original DNS settings for the expired domains will be stored, and it will be restored if the registrant renews their domain anytime through to the end of the 75-day redemption and grace period. Resellers have complete flexibility to opt-out of these nameserver changes In summary, we still have a lot to learn, and this will continue as the market evolves. Obviously, there will be many questions from our resellers beyond what I have been able to cover in this brief. We will have more detail in the days, weeks and months to follow, and we look forward to your suggestions on how to turn these into highly valuable programs in support of your businesses. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ben Kennedy Sent: Tuesday, October 25, 2005 7:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [domains-gen] renewyourdomain.net?

Wow. I am curious, what proportion of Tucows resellers have thousands of unused domain names under their management? I must be in the minority (most of my customers actually use their domains). >The DNS settings will be replaced with the Tucows hostname >ns1.renewyourname.net and ns2.renewyourname.net.
