Re: [ga] The Price for Redemption

["L. Gallegos" <jandl@jandl.com>]

Aside from the obvious highway robbery, why should a registrant have to 
pay any fee at all if the problem with the domain was caused by a 
registrar's system, registry's system or sudden demise of email provider 
such as in the @home fiasco or 9/11 disaster?  I see nothing built in to 
protect a regstrant from being milked in a situation where he could do 
nothing about it.

As for the price, I can't imagine where cost of administration would be 
anywhere near the lower price, never mind the absolutely ridiculous $85.  
With registrars' markup, it so far out of line as to be ludicrous.
