Companies pay MarkMonitor to NOT make these mistakes. So... GoDaddy failed?

Yeah I don't understand this. MarkMonitor themselves are a registry, so is the potentially a mistake in migrating from GoDaddy to MarkMonitor?

MarkMonitor is a registrar (one of many). GoDaddy Registry is the .us registry operator (the only one); they actually operate the TLD on behalf of the government. In this capacity they are not operating as another registrar, but as the TLD operator.
