Dear Robert and all,

I totally agree with the points you noted, so imagine "KuwaitNET General
Trading Co." :)

 

if they insist in having it in pdf format they can have a pdf form that
has spaces to fill then print.

 

Best Regards,

Bashar Al-Abdulhadi

	Dear Registrars and Observers:
	
	In my life, I've seen some nit picking companies.  But today,
I've seen a new low in unnecessary nit picking;-(
	
	Here is the start of the Iron Mountain Escrow Agreement:
	
	This Registrar Data Escrow Agreement ("Agreement") among
_____________ ("Registrar"),
	a(n)_____________, Iron Mountain Intellectual Property
Management, Inc. A Delaware
	corporation ("Escrow Agent"), ...
	
	The Agreement is presented in .pdf format, the space in which
the registrar is expected to type or hand write the company name and the
space after "a(n)" are about 13 spaced long or one inch.
	
	My company name, "Domains Only, Inc.". 17 characters to squeeze
into the space.  But I managed.
	
	Seeing the minuscule space after "a(n)", I wrote "Corp.".  I
figured that if they wanted more, they would have provided more space.
Usually the entity creating the Agreement has the decency to provide
additional space for the jurisdiction in which a corporation,
partnership or individual is registered and/or authorized.
	
	They demand that I write ?Washington State Corporation?.. That's
twenty eight spaces.  I just don't think it will fit in that space and
still be legible.
	
	Do they want me to send them a new copy of page 1?  No, they
want me to prepare again the entire contract, thirteen pages --- in
triplicate.
	
	If this the kind of stupidity we can expect from Iron Mountain
in perpetuity, they will be able to make registrars lives a living hell.
Can someone please tell me how else I can handle the Escrow
requirements?
	
	Disgusted, BobC
	
	P.S.  I thought about sending this Email a while, reread it
several times, and still think it should be posted.  If anyone (other
that Iron Mountain) is offended by the tone, I offer my abject
apologies.
