catch issue / question on the new system

[Ben Thomas]

On a different subject, anyway of getting the old who-is back, I don't like the new lookup and I miss the availability checker?

I used to use Alfred on MacOS to open the WHOIS page with the domain already searched (by passing the URL the domain query), doesn't work with the new RDAP lookup page

@webber I've just noticed I can pass a URL query to rdap.uk, so thanks for that, I will definitely be using this now rather than Nominet lookup.

So, I have my own TAG, I give money to 5 friends around the country, they setup their own TAG`s but for me and I use them.
I now have multiple TAG`s and an advantage.

(I don't by the way)

As far as I can see that's the problem and always has been or am I wrong?

The only way I can see to totally irradicate it would be to offer a dedicated catching TAG.
The Catching TAG would have a 100k create quota and a maximum of 100 connections with everything dropping at 14:00.

Logistically the Catching TAG would operate on a separate "Catching EPP" similar to what the ROR had.
The Catching TAG connections could also be made to only accept create commands between 13:59 - 14:01

Then there would be absolutely no point in having multiple TAGs. Job Done
