Not true.

Not the case. CIRA are only holding us back so much - truth is, registrars
who have been submitting to date have had *lots* of problems with
inconsistent and non-existant responses. Not submitting so far has been a
blessing in many ways, we will be dealing with much less buggy CIRA
systems (although, not bug free).

We are a big part of the rush.

We have been testing dilligently today.
We have submitted more names to CIRA in the last 12 hours than we ever
have before. It is looking OK -
As long as they remain stable, we should be processing tomorrow.
