ACK, that's also the first time that I heard about any "ICANN 10 years limit" for the expiration of com-domains. And here it's apparently the reason for a whois-RFCI-entry, which RfC could that be ? Not RfC 1591 or RfC 1032 (looking for "exp").
Its good to know people do read
I'm a RFCI+SURBL+SPF-fan ;-) Bye, Frank

Frank,
It has been a hectic couple of days and now my in-laws arrive today, but it is not in an RFC (though it is an invalid expiration date), but in an ICANN document. Later, I'll look for the ICANN rule document which applies, the same holds for .net and .org domains - I don't remember if .edu's are covered or not; It is a *very* old rule and does not hold true for some of the country specific TLDs (and maybe not even for things like .ws, .biz, etc. - though from bad memory I think .info's have a five year limit) - I'll try to find at least one example of those also. If you want to start searching yourself first, check the standard registrar agreements on the ICANN site. The "easy" evidence is to look at how long reputable registrars will allow a renewal for (try NetSol - they suck, but do basically do follow the rules - also Joker and GoDaddy, both whom I think better of, go strictly by what is allowed).
More later after I find it,
