RE: [registrars] SLA - Decision Time

["Paul Stahura" <stahura@enom.com>]

eNom supports option 2
Why should the registry ever be down?
I think the registry is doing a good
job cusomer-service wise *except* this
idea that they can go down for hours at a time.
For the kind of money we pay, they should
never ever never never never ever
never (did I say never?) be down.
