Re: [ga] NSI & Expired domain names -- violation of consensus deletions policy??
The Deletions Policy appears to be disintegrating. NSI seem to be bypassing
the consensus policy, and Tucows have also proposed to introduce a policy
which will dispose of deleting domain names before other registrars can be
involved.
What is the position of the ICANN Board on these developments?
