I just got an email from tucows / hover.com that they now have my domain(s). After the first year, they want $15/yr to renew. Pff. Transferring to godaddy, where all my new registrations are.

I wonder if being a Godaddy reseller would qualify one for such domains. Having a couple thousand domains would easily pay for the fees.

Is there a list of the registrars that lost accreditation ??

Is there a way to get the list of domains each of those had – that will now be brought to market by ICANN ??

Has anyone received any letters from their registrats that accreditation has been terminated ??

Well, I am one of them and I’ve been swinging in the breeze for months.
Sure would be nice to have a “buddy” right about now.
FWIW, I did get an unsolicited email to sign up with TUCOWS, and couldn’t figure out why….til now.

I find it frustrating that ICANN seem to make you want to jump through hoops to do anything, yet don’t do much jumping themselves as Frank mentions TUCOWS are a serial abuser.
