I would suspect that Afilias running the technical part is also running the payment system, therefore collecting the money and sending the cheque to RDS-HN?
Is out there someone that could confirm if this is suspended also?
Dear Andres and all
No service has been affected/suspended at our end.

I do see risks for the stability of the DNS. Altough I trust Afilias for doing the right job as the technical operator of the TLD, it remains that Afilias does not have a contract with Conatel, but with RDS-HN. What will happen if RDS-HN is unable to pay the bills is an issue. What will happen to the domain names registered under .hn is yet another.
I know they are a serious operator, and also the people from Afilias I know like Ken or Desiree are quite trustable. But I´m not 100% sure if we could, as ICANN At Large (or at least as LACRALO) "ask Afilias not to make a contract with Conatel".
Hello Andres,
Glad to see I did not get it all wrong. With regard to teh registry services, my concern is this: Afilias is performing a technical service to RDS-HN, which pays Afilias in return. If RDS-HN is no more able to collect registration fees, they will not be able to pay Afilias anymore, who might in turn stop performing the service, in effect making the .HN domain unreachable. This is all theoretical of course, because I am sure Afilias is aware of their responsibility and that there is some flexibility.
Whoever gets the redelegation of the .hn domain will need to run or subcontract the technical part. How this is handled during the transition period, if any, is a concern.
Hope this clarifies it a bit.
Patrick
