Hi,

But I still wasn't > in the Internic whois, and not on the on the ".com" dns servers. I know this discussion is somewhat [OT] but ... I am really curious now ... just WHO is this alleged registrar. Several people including myself have asked but so far we have not seen a name. Is this an ICANN accredited registrar, or a reseller of one "claiming to be a registrar" (a common phenomenon unfortunately). If an ICANN accredited registrar, and there was a 3 day delay in submitting your registration AFTER you hade submitted and paid for it, this would probably be a serious breach of ICANN accreditation. If not an ICANN acredited registrar, and a reseller without an automaated connection directly to an ICANN registrar (no human intervention required), you might consider disputing the credit card charge for non-performance but there is no way to get the domain name. I recall a situation where one of our clients received a loud, chest thumping "legal notice" to surrender their domain name because this other party had allegedly registered the same domain name through someone else "first". Well too bad, that soemone else was not a registrar but some slowcoach reseller in "manual mode" and our client got the domain name first because we are fully automated (including credit card charging online). best regards Mike Salim.
