Joe, Morica and all,
Yes this sounds very similar to how Register.Com does business,
as we have already seen and read plenty of evidence of. It seems that
the vaunted oversight from ICANN and the NTIA is neglecting its
responsibilities. Why am I not surprised?
More to the point however Morica, it might be wise to just
file a complaint directly to the ICANN board or consider a
suit. Otherwise, as in other situations exactly like yours you will
just be ignored and feel ripped off, which it seems that you were.
