Haha... I meant maybe auDA should make provisons where acquired registrars transfer their domain portfolio to their *main accredidation* where they own 100% of that registrar, if they wish to disinvest that registrar/brand/whatever than provisons should be made to allow the new owner to move the portfolio of that "brand/whatever" to their own accredidation. This could also help resellers move from their current registrar to their own accredidation if they wanted too in the furture. Maybe I'm looking at it from the point of view of a domain reseller...

I really don't know, but the current system seems broken...

Brenden,
You can't do that in a free market stop companies buying other companies
in the same industry. I think Vic might have something to say about that.
