If the stipulation is only that a *minimum* of one year were to apply, why
on earth would you want to invoice everybody monthly?  We invoice most
clients monthly in any case, and sure as hell we don't have a fancy
accounting package - just a few hundred dollars for a 5-user system.

I can see many instances where a client may want to register a domain for
short periods - say funrun2002.com.au?

Bruce,
I would like to ask a question of the list.
Hands up those resellers who can afford a million dollar accounting system
to handle monthly billing of a domain name licence?
