I'd argue that unless the name appears in the DNS it shouldn't appear in the registry as its appearance of the name in the DNS that gives the registry any authority it has.
The registry gains its authority by virtue of delegation from the root. The contents of the zone file does not change this. Anyway, the business need is clear. People want to protect their intellectual property first and implement their name second. Registrars must deliver on this, regardless of what obstacles the registry places in its way. regards Peter Mott Chief Enthusiast 2DAY INTERNET LIMITED It's kind of fun to do the impossible - Walt Disney -/- - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
