What a load of bullcrap.
Sibername, Burmac, Baremetal, Myid, namespro, canspace, fastweb, and all the others had no issue and ran correctly and Pool has the guts to come and talk about ambiguity?
What a load of BS. You really believe we are all idiots here?
The multiple registrars referred to in CIRA system are the multiple registrars owned by POOL and no one else. What a joke and what a sad sad day for all those that even once believed in the impartiality of CIRA. Pool is now the protege of CIRA, and the rest of registrars can go screw themselves?
And we as registrants can all go to hell? Who cares that we keep wasting time week after week in this TBR while prices continue to go up?
In the end, CIRA is just a cover for Pool bending backwards to fill their pockets and accommodating their every whim and desire.
What a sad sad day. This is Canada? What have we left to corrupt third world countries?
How do we start an investigation? How do we force CIRA to reveal what has happened and their connections to Pool?
By the way namefox...Pool is a Momentous company:
http://momentous.ca/
The one company missing from the header here is CIRA, controlled by and manipulated by momentous
There is so much black deals going on here that it makes me sick.
How do we complain to industry canada and how do we force an investigation into what is happening here and in the relationship between cira and momentous?
I totally understand the frustration everyone is feeling about the continued issues with the TBR, but ultimately I applaud CIRA for standing up for what is the "right thing to do". They are obviously taking a lot of heat from "the market" and clearly making this decision must have been very difficult for very obvious reaons. As I read CIRA's announcement, they found issues in this TBR that affected multiple registrars ability to successfully participate, and in the interst of fairness to all registrars, they are rescheduling. I would not expect CIRA to (and don't believe they have) reschedule if a registrar(s) made a technical mistake of their own.
Pool has not always been technically correct, some of you may remember a large drop in the past where our systems failed and we were unsuccessful at getting anything. CIRA did not cancel that TBR and more importantly as it was our error, we didn't ask them to. When that happens, we take our lumps and learn our lessons.
It is clear, however, that some elements of the TBR process has changed as a result of the migration to EPP when at first registrars thought the TBR would remain the same. Some of the changes were subtle, some implied by other changes in the EPP system that also affected TBR. Yesterday, was the first time that all registrars actually established connectivity in the TBR in a production mode and were able to fully see the impact of those changes And CIRA's analysis suggests that some registrars implementation of the changes while consistent with what they thought should happen, were not correct.
So, CIRA will be publishing a document within the next short while that details clearly for registrars what is expected in the TBR platform today, some of which has changed fundamentally from before. The net result will be that all registrars have a fair crack at acquiring their TBR orders when it runs once more next week.
I think it is important to understand that from CIRA's operational perspecitive, the TBR ran as it should this time. Their operations ran correctly and as they expected. I believe it was a number of registrars implementation of the new TBR requirements that may have missed the mark and again, CIRA has recognized the potential for ambiguity and will be releasing more clear directives to registrars in the next little while. Ultimately, the TBR will be re-established as a platform available and fair to all participants.
