Re: [registrars] Our Escrow Contractor....

Russ,

I just wanted to add that if you go with Iron Mountain, ICANN covers 
the bill.  If you go with anyone else you have to pay for it.

The recent news about J.C. Penny is quite shocking though.  I wonder 
how common that is in the data retention industry.
