At least you agree that : > That's a different issue, and I agree that it would have been less > controversial had auDA chosen a different strategy.

That is what should have been done :( and then this section as mentioned earlier. which states that registrants have to deal with a different set of Registrars of choice not mentioning us resellers at all. I feel like that auda is saying if you are not a registrar we are not a legitimate source for domain name rego, renewals and management. that is a total disregard for us as resellers, that is uncalled for :-( Marco ----- Original Message ----- From: Ron Stark <ronstark§businesspark.com.au> To: <dns§lists.auda.org.au> Sent: Tuesday, July 02, 2002 7:46 PM Subject: RE: [DNS] Re: anydomain.com.au My apologies - it was Marco. -----Original Message----- From: Michael-Pappas [mailto:auda§michael-pappas.com] Sent: Tuesday, 2 July 2002 7:39 PM To: dns§lists.auda.org.au Subject: RE: [DNS] Re: anydomain.com.au Was not me, I never compared the two, I hold both very seperate.
