Hello,
My biggest issue is the we OpenSRS resellers are not at a disadvantage.
So the questions we need to know are:
- Are other major registrars (Verisign, Register.com, Enom) not returning
expired names to the general pool for all to gain access?
- Are other major registrars going to stop releasing expired names to the
general pool in the near future?
If so then it would be very ignorant of OpenSRS to keep releasing names to
the general pool while other major competitors are not. It would put us
resellers at a distinct disadvantage.
Does anyone know the answers to my questions? Ross? Charles?
thanks!
David
