Hey Kim, just a quickie.

Don't you think that in the whois info having the registrar displayed is
confusing, especially the ones going through resellers ( and since there are
lots of resellers, there are lots of domain names ) ?


Thanx

Ginge

Quoting Chris Berkeley on Tuesday August 13, 2002:
|
| Doesn't this beg the question: why did auDA bother with having registrars?
At the

auDA,
| AusRegistry, Registrars, and Resellers. Would it not have been more
efficient to have
| eliminated the Registrars at least?

Well, I don't know if you want a serious answer if you think everyone is
a shyster...

Anyway. auDA did not decide to have registrars. It held an open
Competition Policy Development Panel which accepted submissions from
anyone interested, and based on submissions developed a model that
was most desirable.

There are really only three parties. If you choose to use a Reseller
instead of going direct, that's your own fault. There will also be
people reselling products no matter what it is.
