How sad is it that we have to learn about new rules from this board and trial and error. What new rules haven't been uncovered yet?
I just learned that when a domain is in "auto-renew grace" and is renewed, the CIRA whois does not update it for that 45 day period.
I just read here that a TBR domain that is not transferred within 14 days to a Registrant gets thrown back into the TBR.
I figured out that CIRA gives a false expiry date if your name goes into "auto-renew grace". It appears as if it has been renewed, when in fact it has not. If you check the expiry date during this 45 day period you could easily be lulled into a false sense of security that the domain is okay. I can see a lawsuit there, when a new domain administrator thinks everything is okay assuming because of the new expiry date that accounting has paid the bill.
CIRA told me that the "auto-renew grace" is "industry best practice". That statement tells me that their policies are geared directly towards the Registrars, ignoring the end users.
