Their registration agreement seems to imply that they are a part of
Register.com, eNom, and Wild West domains.  Is there any truth to that?  Do
these other registrars even know DROA is making this statement in their
agreement?


"This Registration Agreement ("Agreement") sets forth the terms and conditions of
your use of this domain name registration service to register an Internet domain
name, your registration of that domain name, as well as other domain name
related services. In this Agreement "you" and "your" refer to each customer and
"we", "us" and "our" refer to Register.com, Inc., eNom, Inc., Wild West Domains,
Inc., BRANDON GRAY INTERNET SERVICES INC. (dba "NameJuice.com")
(\u201cRegistrar?, the ICANN accredited Registrars and DRoA, through which the
services are being offered. "

They were banned from making transfers (which was the main issue) on eNom's credential and new registrations are on there on their own ICANN credential.  Obviously we do not approve or condone whois scraping.
