Interesting email I received about (re) dropping .ca's from Sibername

[buckshotdots]

I think they were mad maybe that one of the big guys (maybe pool?) was able to grab many of the dropping names and they have found a loop hole to have them re-drop??? Will be interesting if anyone can dig up more info on this. Here is the email I received.

-----------------------------
We have noticed a violation of Registrar rules and sent a complaint to CIRA and as a result some of the Jan 9, 2007 TBR Domains are cancelled;

We would like to see all cancelled because a small variation causes an avalanche effect.

At least better than nothing.

So, some domains will be back in the next weeks list.

Here is what CIRA announced to the Registrars:

All Registrars,



During the January 9 TBR session, it was discovered that a number of domain names were registered with the same registrar within a period that was less than five (5) seconds apart. This occurrence happened due to the presence of a particular set of variables. CIRA will update the TBR system to ensure that this circumstance will not re-occur.

TBR registration rules do not permit registration by the same registrar if the registration interval is less than five seconds. As a consequence, the domain names that were identified as being registered in non-compliance with the TBR rules will have the registration cancelled. These domain names will be made available for new registration during the next TBR session (January 16). The updated TBR list for next week will also include those TBR domain names that were not granted on January 9 due to the violation of the one-connection rule.


<NON DISCLOSED CONTACT DETAILS>

At this point it's unclear just which domains were affected.
