Yes, we have to do something about it. Recently, I have seen several large ISPs got affected by Internic.
I know for sure that both Aimnet.net and Internex.net are putting on hold, despite the fact that Aimnet.net already paid and our check was cashed 2 days before they put us on hold.
You just cannot imagine how many our customers are getting affected. CRL, Aimnet, and Internex likes are major ISPs with hundred and thousands of corporate customers using their services.
Actually, its been rather interesting. Talk about opportune times for the domain to disappear. I've been hanging out in New York, trying to get at my email when all of a sudden the domain disappeared. Its been rather interesting trying to keep up on events once the domain disappears. I don't even know how much email bounced back as "undeliverable, no such address" to sites that have also automatically removed me from mailing lists and the like. In some cases, news had some interesting issues when the names disappeared. *SIGH* Mistakes happen I suppose, however these are rather expensive... You can't believe how expensive they can cost you... I would like to have as part of the whois process to be able to look at the account balance and last check reciept so that I at least can tell if the InterNIC is about to screw up on myself or a customer. The burden of proof on me however is definately unacceptable, but barring a long lawsuit and the like, I'd at least like to be able to see what their records on me or my customers look like.
