RE: One year registrations for .us

Hi all,

No offence but I think the flame might be a little misdirected. What I would
have like to have seen is that we resellers would have had a heads up on the 1
year option and be in a position to offer this in the same timeframe as other
registrars.

I participated in a forum discussing promotion different ideas with Neulevel and
other OSRS resellers a while back. Doesn't make sense that we're in this kind
of exercise, but taken by surprise with this development.

Personally, I don't mind the 2 year startup, but _only_ if we're all playing by
that rule. If other registrars can offer one year and we can't, then we're at a
definite disadvantage.

My 2c worth.

Thanks,

Doug.
