Amazing.. I'll contact him. But the answer i got from Internic was the don't care answer from below. I could not believe it and mailed them again, asking them to confirm it and they confirmed it. This is not about a single domain anyway.. I just came across this specific one and wanted to know what the policy of Internic is if someone points them to their own agreement and a domain which violates it. Maybe Chuck is able to restore some faith I had into them. But I would prefer it if everyone at Internic would follow the same policy. - Martin Winter On Thu, 4 Mar 1999, James D.
