This might help... from an enom newsletter last October:
>Here are the ways you can allow the registrants to delete these >.info domains if they do not want them: > >1) If you do not want to deal with this promotion at all, let us >know by contacting [EMAIL PROTECTED] or eNom's customer >service and we will delete all of the promotional .info domains in >your account. > >2) Allow the registrant to use the push tool (if you have this >implemented in your interface) to push the domain from the account >it is in to the account with login ID <enom-deletedomains>. eNom >will periodically delete all of the promotional domain names in this >account. Or you or the registrant can do this via the eNom or PDQ >website by logging into the account then clicking on the new >"promotion" sub-tab in the domain manager, and clicking "delete" >next to the promotional name you wish to delete. > >3) Inform the registrants that they can send an email to >[EMAIL PROTECTED] and we will delete the domain name. These >emails must be sent by either the registrant or administrative >contact for the domain name. We will reply to these emails to verify >that the "from" email address is not being spoofed. > >We apologize for any confusion this has created and we hope you >understand that we are trying to allow the registrants to take >advantage of Afilias' program while the names were still free and available.
