Just to be clear, it's not about showing something different for 
compliance, the domain is only registered for 9.something years, full stop.

ICANN/Internic is the ultimate authority within their gTLD roots, 
everyone else is just a reseller, so at this point you've been sold 
something they're unable to deliver -- But since they can deliver it 
over time, it should work itself out.

In other words, what you have is a domain for 9 years, and the promise 
of one more. That's fair, most service contacts are based on one party 
or the other doing something and the other promising to do something later.

Luckily registrars don't have much of an incentive to jerk people 
around, saving themselves $9 isn't worth the lawsuit and potential loss 
of accreditation.
