RE: [registrars] Re: SHAREHOLDER VOTE RE "REGISTER.INFO"--DEADLINE FOR VOTE
Bob - with all due respect for your strong feelings on the registrar issue,
it is not appropriate to mix that issue with a shareholder matter. I hope
others will not follow suit. In any case, I just want to remind you that
Registter.com has already "given." Please refer to my posting in July,
where I had stated our new position is to move to an auto-ack system.
Regards, Elana

Dear Members: They say, "to get you gotta give". What is Register.com
willing to give?
For a start, I would ask that they abandon the practice of Auto_Nack on
transfer requests.
I therefore vote no until there is a clarification.
