[ga] joesworld.com saga continues

[Abraham Ingersoll <abe@dajoba.com>]

Well, well, well .. YesNIC has responded.

Now YesNIC says they're "reconstructing" their system. Yeah right! 
The domain has been in the "No match" state since at least 2001/Apr/09 
01:57:41 PM - probably even longer. Since Apr 2001, I've made almost 30 
attempts to order the domain. Each time I tried, my OpenSRS 
RSP (Registration Service Provider) account would log the order as 
failed, noting "Domain Taken." I swear that every time I'd try to order, 
YesNic's whois server would return "No Match."

Note the CC to Dan Halloran, ICANN's "Chief Registrar Liaison." Perhaps 
submitting a whois failure report through internic.net actually does go 
somewhere, even though the "Status Query Result" of my complaint still 
just says "confirmed" .. ?

Dear Abraham Ingersoll 

I apologize for the late reply.
We are currently reconstruturing our system and we are about to complete.
At the completion of the reconstruction, we will release the WHOIS information.
Thank you.

Kind Regards,
Jason
