Elliot Noss of Tucows has blogged a list of questions to ask of Internet domain name registrars before registering a domain name with them. This is in light of ICANN’s revoking of RegisterFly as an accredited registrar.

Since some points on Elliot’s list are difficult to ascertain, what we really need is a wiki spreadsheet — paging Dan Bricklin! — with those questions (and more to come, undoubtedly) so that knowledgeable customers can fill in the blanks.

(Disclosure: Elliot’s company, Tucows, is a registrar. But Elliot, who is a friend, relentlessly works for the best interests of the Net and us users.) [Tags: icann registry domain_names registerfly tucows elliot_noss wikicalc dan_bricklin]
