We have been members of Nominet since '98 and have only recently found out
that IPS TAG is actually meant to be ISP TAG but some unidentified Nominet
techie made a typo back in the mists of time and it has stuck ever since.
IPS means nothing :O) or if you prefer an Internet Provider Services.
This was probably never picked up or questioned because members (all IPS TAG
holders) may have felt that it did indeed mean something highly significant
and that there was a gaping hole in their knowledge which was best kept out
of the public domain, and nic.uk has bumbled along ever since with the same
kind of people in charge, a hopeless automaton, massive beurocracy, and a
huge number of staff of which none can code a decent management interface -
If God wasn't an Englishman we would really be in trouble ;O)
Kind regards

Subject: Change IPS Tag
When a *.co.uk domain is being transferred to another registrar, the
current registrar 'gives up' the domain by changing the IPS tag (in the case
of OpenSRS, the tag would be changed to TUCOWS-CA). Do other registrars
have the ability to do this for other domains? I.e. could I request NSI to
change the IPS tag for a domain and then have OpenSRS take it?
I think the answer is no, probably because I don't even know if domains
other than *.co.uk even have an IPS tag. What does IPS stand for anyway?
It's Pretty Sweet?
