yup, we noticed this recently. some of the domains that we had
registered (with the required fields filled out) are showing up like
this.  sometimes.  old domains whos records we haven't touched in
years and newly registered domains.  no pattern that i can discern.

i just chalked it up to another round of netsol fuckups, and just hope
that they fix it someday.  i haven't talked to anyone there about it
yet, cause i make enough phone calls to their business support line as
it is about more pressing issues.  (changing forms with no warning,
having the wrong address in their 'reply-to', delaying transfers,
etc.)

i'm just waiting for the day that a Cool Local Company opens their
doors for business as a registrar so i can switch all of our domains
from that incompetent netsol behemoth to them.  its in the works, and
that is the only thing that gets me thru these daily troubles with
netsol...knowing that it will end someday.
