You mean you, and the others, can't qualify under the rules of *stable, business grade service*, defined as:

I know that's tough, but the truth of the matter is that 90% of the TLDs which your defectors are now putting up under "uDNS" don't meet the above *FOUR* criteria, say much less being non-collusive and holding 10 or fewer TLDs.
