] With lines like "This is an official notice" and "to inform you that
] Melbourne IT has terminated its Agreement" and "therefore DOMAIN
] RESELLER will no longer be able to manage the maintenance and renewal of
] your .com.au domain name" and "To ensure your domain name is secure and
] protected" I have no doubt MelbourneIT have achieved their aim.

Is there much cost involved for a current Melbourne IT reseller
to maintain its Melbourne IT reseller status for 2 years but not
renew or register any domains through Melbourne IT?  Assume that
the reseller also has a reseller relationship with another
registrar (or registrars) through which domains will be renewed
and registered.

When resellers who have been affected by this letter complain to
Melbourne IT and ask Melbourne IT to explain itself to them,
can you also ask for permission to pass Melbourne IT's response
on to auDA and/or lists like this one?
