Confused, re pricing. OpenSRS and CIRA explain it two different ways. OPENSRS SAYS: ============= >[Requested term of registration - 1 to 9 years * annual price] + >[(original creation date - Nov 1) * daily rate] > >For example, a .ca name originally registered on December 7th (year is >not relevant), assuming only a one year "pre-registration" will be >priced using the following formula: > >[1 year * <$19>] + [(original creation date <Dec 7>- Nov 1 = <37days>) * >daily rate <$0.05>) = $21.85 > >Our daily rate is $0.05 - which is roughly $19/365 days. This inclines that here, a registration in the above noted example will be 1 year plus 37 days, costing $21.85 However, CIRA says that pre-registrations can only be in increments of 1 year "rounded up" to the next year. In CIRA's explanation -- the above example would mean that the domain should be renewed for 2 years with the customer losing 328 days. [365-37=328] "(not 1 year, 37 days) CIRA SAYS: ========== >- The length of the pre-registration term for each domain name will be a >minimum of 12 to 24 months, as set by CIRA, depending on the anniversary >of the registration, the registration fees will be pro-rated to this length >(Registrars will be able to advise Registrants of the exact minimum length). >Registrants may have the option, depending on their Registrar, of >pre-registering their domain names for terms additional to the minimum >(rounded up to the nearest year), in increments of 1 year, for up to a >maximum of 10 years, with corresponding fees. Which method is correct?
