RE: [registrars] WLS go ahead???

[Christopher Kruk <kruk@domainpeople.com>]

Bhavin, I agree with your sentiments. From a Registrar's business and 
operational perspective, I would think a high priority should be placed on 
achieving stability for basic Registrar services such as transfers, 
deletions, whois, etc. I personally didn't pay much attention to the WLS 
issue since I considered it a service proposal that would go through a 
lengthy advisory process following a resolution of the more pressing issues 
on the table.

Now I see postings with subject lines like "WLS go ahead???" and I'm very 
concerned as I hope many other Registrars are if this is happening so 
quickly. I can understand if there was a high customer demand but I don't 
see it. Has anyone else?

In this case, I think the rooster came first ;)

Roger and out,
