So now you've read the mailing list and things have changed: you are aware of several resellers in that category, including some large resellers and people who have given the thing quite a bit of thought and identified several potential problems. And in response, Tucows plans to change... ummm, what, exactly? Your message came across as "We're going ahead with it anyway because we talked to some people at a trade show who didn't object, and we'll tell you later why we thought your comments weren't relevant". As a reminder, you have always stated (to your credit) that domain name registrants are my customers, not yours. Other than legal requirements imposed on you by third parties, I therefore naturally expect to decide how expirations are handled, what renewal notices customers see, whether it's a good idea to alter their nameservers based on technical limitations, and so forth. I'm sure you don't believe that it's up to you to decide any of those things against my will; if you did, Tucows' promise to remember that these people are my customers would be worthless. If you can explain the benefits of the new features to us all, and I decide that I want my customers to participate, then that will be just fine. Until then, you need take a few moments to talk with whomever needs to be talked with to make sure that no domain names from my reseller ID are included; it should be a simple database change on your end.
