Hello all,
I'm sorry to bring this subject to the list, again, but i was
wondering if someone could tell me if i'm being paranoid and/or help
me out.
Some may remeber my recent posts about some expired domains i own(ed).
On my last post on the subject, on the 25th of September, i said that
the only domain i showed interest in, by contacting the new owner -
LeaderByChoice, Inc- , a domain re-seller, was apparently being held
captive for registration, and not in fact registered since the
creation date kept changing. Today i did an whois on the domain again,
and to my surprise i got:
Updated Date: 29-sep-2008
Creation Date: 29-sep-2008
Expiration Date: 29-sep-2009
I wonder how legal these record updates are and if this isn't a clear
manouver to keep the domain locked by some registrar which also is, or
is affiliated with, a domain re-seller.
I also would like to ask if, in your opinion, i should contact ICANN
about this or if there's any other entity, more appropriate, that
could clarify this matter.
the registrar doing these updates is MAXIM INTERNET, INC.
Best regards, and thank you in advance for any advice,
Hugo Monteiro.
Hello all, again.
I'm Cc'in the ICANN GA list too since it was "recomended" by another
member of this list.
A small update on the matter. Today i preformed an whois on the domain
and suddenly it was no longer held by anyone.
Went to the registrar and registered it again.
Isn't this a CLEAR evidence that there is something very wrong happening
with the procedure of registration of expired domains? I wish that ICANN
steps in to investigate this further.
Since i managed to register the domain i don't think there's any problem
making its name public now. Didn't do it earlier since i'm almost 100%
sure that DNS/Whois queries were being monitored to analyze peoples
interest/number of hits on the domain. Also i'm hoping that someone at
ICANN can clarify this whole situation. The domain associated with all
this mess is casadocerrado.com.
Thank you all for your time and understanding on this so-off-topic issue.
My best regards,
Hugo Monteiro.
