If you have pre-registered names via a prominent Australian registrar, you are led
to believe that the registrar will only submit one pre-registration per domain name.
Try to pre-register a name that’s already been pre-registered with that registrar
and you’ll be unable to do so.However, I am told today by another registrar that
is pending Afilias authorization that it is submitting pre-registrations through
that same Australian registrar. Thus, for duplicate names pre-registered with
both companies (and perhaps with other resellers for the Australian registrar), either
not all names will be submitted, or the assumption that names will only be submitted
once will not be borne out.
Could other registrars who are supposedly only submitting
one pre-registration per name be engaging in the same practice?
