What will be the position of Snapnames customers when WLS kicks in? As I
understand it, Snapnames has a close (shared?) business relationship at
present.

Will their customers get their 'snapped' names automatically transferred to
pole position under WLS (which would be seen as unfair on competitors)?

But then again, if you have paid $69 for a snapback on a name, and you've
purchased a 12 month service (the normal Snapnames service) then if the
service is terminated by WLS, will Snapnames be obliged to refund its
customers?

In effect the same business associates who offered a 12 month contract would
be those responsible for rendering the contract invalid by adopting WLS.

What is Snapnames going to do to protect the interests of its customers?
What is Verisign going to do to ensure that Snapnames does not gain an
unfair advantage over its competitors?

Yrs,

Richard Henderson
