Yes, renewed with NSI. I determined this by examining the last-updated
dates in the registry whois on these domains. The registry automatically
adds 1 year and updates the last-updated date on the anniversary date of
the domain. This happens irrespective of whether the domain holder has
actually requested a renewal from NSI. If the domain holder goes to NSI
to pay for a renewal at some later date, after the registry has already
added a year, NSI won't send a renewal command to the registry IF the
domain holder only renews for 1 year, because the additional year has
already been added by the registry. The last-updated date still shows the
anniversary date, thus we can infer that the domain holder only renewed
for 1 year. If the domain holder renews for more than 1 year, NSI has to
add the additional years at the registry, and the last-updated date in the
registry will show the actual date of the renewal. So far, as far as I
can tell, the pattern has been that the expiry dates have disappeared only
from domains which were renewed for 1 year during the past few weeks, but
they're still shown on all other domains. I suspect this is just a bug in
some piece of code at NSI, and the missing expiry dates will reappear
eventually.
