Without further evidence, I would consider DROA's date as authoritative as they would likely delete, disable, or reposes the domain at that time, regardless of registry date. However, if you transfer away, I'd hazard a guess that the registry's date would be authoritative, and you'd get the full benefit of the longer period (plus the one year transfer period) I'm not sure why DROA would renew a domain longer then the customer desired, even if they're running a "renew the domain and run ads" program, it wouldn't make sense to do it in advance. However, they probably have their reasons. -- Dave Warren, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Office: (403) 775-1700 / (888) 300-3480 _______________________________________________ domains-gen mailing list [email protected] http://discuss.tucows.com/mailman/listinfo/domains-gen
