And what can this website tell them that we have not already told them? It will (probably) not give them any specific way to renew, other than to "contact your reseller". > > The new situation seems better to me. Faster, easier, and I'm > less likely to get yelled at.

That assumption might be correct. It could be advertising for Tucows' services. However, it would not be faster; it would not be easier; and you would not be less likely to be yelled at. And how could it possibly be better than allowing US to take care of OUR customers? If the customers, many of whom do not really know what Tucows/OpenSRS is, believe that they registered their domains through US, they will be even more angry at US for allowing this new entity to put up content on THEIR websites. They usually would not realize that their website has not been modified. They would still come yelling and screaming to us. After all, when they have not paid their bills previously, we have not broadcast that to the world. > > I agree that it would have been nice to have had more notice and > a better explanation than we received.
