Hi David, You're not wrong. But here's the thing: bad policy may give folks incentive to lie, but unfair policy gives them the excuse to do so with a clear conscience. That's why inconsistent regulation is generally worse than merely bad regulation. Regulation which is merely bad at least has the virtue of being an equal opportunity offender. My feel is that we should either dump the anti-flipping language... or not. Creating loopholes will just make a bad design worse. You can make a reasonable argument that a registry transfer where the resources stay with the exact same registrant doesn't materially change the policy. It's not a loophole. But adding "and subsidiaries" makes an end-run around 8.2/8.3. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D. Herrin ................ [email protected] [email protected] 3005 Crane Dr. ......................
