List of all DNC authorised registrars is available with .nz domain name pricing and other details. Please be advised that the list is out of date but it will be updated in future.   Friday, 3 June 2005 Aardvark on DNMSL Aardvark (Bruce Simpson) is planning a story on DNC vs DNMSL. A hint of it is on todays posting which I did not link to DNMSL until this afternoon. Wonder what angle Bruce will have on this.  2:24:47 PM      Like to comment? [] DNMSL responds to DNC release DNMSL has a release reponding to the DNC annoucement about the sanction. It goes into some detail into the background of the issue and his opinions of the process. 2:15:49 PM      Like to comment? [] DNC sanction release DNC has an annoucement about the DNMSL issue. It makes interesting reading. 1:48:09 PM      Like to comment? [] Go Kiwi and Domain Name Manager Services common ownership Both Go Kiwi Internet and DNMSL have only one director and one shareholder. This is the same person for each. They were also incorporated within 6 weeks of each other in 2003. I am not sure what is going on but it looks interesting. From what I can tell so far is that DNMSL is an approved registar (but not connected to the registry, this leads down an interesting side path which I will post on as well) was a registrar for Go Kiwi names of which Go Kiwi was not the 'end registrant'. I think the DNC determined that this was an attempt to avoid the rules that the end registrant had to have the name in their own name. 1:28:26 PM      Like to comment? [] clowns.co.nz is all goofy Another named mentioned by DNMSL that has been deregistered is clowns.co.nz. The registry entry on this name is weird. It lists it as 'pending release' but also has the flag 'include in DNS?' set to 'Yes'. 12:10:23 PM      Like to comment? [] sports.org.nz Well it seems that sports.org.nz is active and in the DNS. It is still registered to Go Kiwi but has an update of 11:16am this morning on the registry entry. 12:06:24 PM      Like to comment? [] Registrar hits out at DNC Seems all is not well with one .nz Registar. Domain Name Manager Services (Go Kiwi Internet) have issued several media releases. The first one from Wednesday is called Registrar fuming over Domain Name loss and the secon one from yesterday is called Domain Name deactivation hits Sports Trusts. Both of them have very strong opinions of the DNC and the actions of the office. The only mention in the NZOC minutes is the following "There was a discussion by NZOC regarding an ongoing investigation into the activities of a registrar. NZOC agreed with the actions and decisions taken by the DNC and expressed their confidence in her handling of this matter." More info posted as I find out more... Update: Corrected NZOC link. 12:02:30 PM      Like to comment? [] © Copyright 2007 Foxbane Ltd and Steven Heath. Last update: 9/07/2007; 10:28:56 p.m..
