Re: [registrars] Update

["Collignon Francois" <collignon@7ways.net>]

Dear Collegues,

I fully support Paul and Richard in this way.
We have many complaints regarding bad and unfair pratice which keep
confusing to our customers.

1) a bad Whois request based on not real time basis and lack of information
2) bad NS upgrade and modification from the registry
3) a pending and grace period which have never approved by registrars
4) deactivation notice to customer even the names has been transfered to
another registrar
5) Altavista and yahoo attitude regarding a keyword cyberskatting
etc.

We need to create a best communication etc...
