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 Please be advised that the list is out of date but it will be updated in future.   Wednesday, 21 December 2005 More on DNMSL vs DNC For those that are new or have forgotten DNMSL was in the news in June.  In the recent NZOC meeting an agenda item was "Policy Compliance - in committee from approx 5pm". At the time I wondered who this was. Since reading about the bullet to the head deauthorisation of DNMSL as a .nz registrar this morning I have made some calls and sent some emails. The first is from Dennis Smith who alleges bias and predetermination of the DNC and requested NZOC appoint a mediator. He states NZOC rejected his request and endorsed the DNC's recommendation. He said me might do a release about this in the new year, or he might not. The next is I followed up on the "The company has also twice been suspended by the registry for technical breaches." comment as this looked like an unusual event, especially as it had not been reported before (that I am aware of). NZRS will suspend a registrar under two broad areas: Whois access abuse Actions that could impact the integrity or performance of the registry It appears whatever they did, or threatened to do, fell under the second area. This is more than just disagreement on policy and how the DNC enforces policy. For NZRS to suspend a registrar means that they must have had pretty clear evidence of actions that would impact all registrars and/or registrants. What the hell was DNMSL thinking? If I find any more relevant information I will post about as I am able. 3:05:03 PM      Like to comment? [] Registrar smoted. DNMSL deauthorised. Just read that the DNC has deauthorised DNMSL.
