It definitely looks like Uniregistry reclassified it. This is what I see from Gandi (note "type": "premium"):

I have a month until it expires. I'll probably wait a few days to see if I get any more replies here. It seems like a slam dunk in terms of being reclassified in violation of section 2.10c, so I wonder if there's any value in a formal complaint process.
Does anyone know if ICANN has ever forced a registry to reclassify a domain back to non-premium? If not, would there be any value in pursuing the issue with the goal of creating some precedent? Is that even possible? Is it a waste of effort?
