"For emergency issues out of these hours please contact our support team on 01865 332460."

I've just done so, as the registry isn't behaving correctly, other registrars should do the same

We wouldn't have this problem if Nominet published a drop list!

I am not trying to catch domains, but I can see that 1 Feb expiries are now dropping. Looks as though system has missed some/all for 31 Jan.

 

[twostepsbehind]

So what will happen to the 31/01s now?

 

[twostepsbehind]

Any updates on this?

Email from Nominet

"Once a domain name enters the cancellation schedule they are cancelled within 24-48 hours. The 90 days renewal cycle guideline is 'on or around', to allow for the cancellation queue to process"

Does anybody know when the 31/01s will drop - got a client that keeps pestering me...

The guy who presses the delete button "in a random sequence" has been furloughed.

This really is pretty weird. It's not rational. Surely some simple explanation should be published. "The guy in Lazarus's picture was hung over, and didn't show up for work..." "it was the dog..." "We'll try switching it off, and switching it on again..."

It does all feel a bit 'ad hoc' really. Systems should be predictable and not arbitrary. What actually IS the reason?

2020 is a leap year and system was confused by date sequence so it stopped, and after reboot it missed a day

What actually IS the reason?

You may recall that there was a consultation on drop lists last year, which would have provided clarity on when domains should drop, unfortunately some went off tangent and therefore Nominet used it as a reason for no change.

A-ha! So it's MY fault.

Wow, to think I control the internet!

I certainly agree there need to be changes.
