The Domain Name Journal has posted an editorial "Time For ICANN to Reign In Out-of-Control Registrars" decrying the current state of the domain name industry. http://www.dnjournal.com/editorial.htm Meanwhile, on the Registrars Discussion List, we notethe following:"Dear Registrars: I would like to report on the unauthorized use of our subnets by a player in the delete pool. It appears that said firm has started playing the game of registering with *no* client requesting the domains. It was reported on the Registrars List that some registrars are capturing deleted domains and checking to see if there is enough web traffic on a given domain to make it marketable. If not, they simply delete within the five day limit graciously provided by Verisign, a serious misuse of the RRP cancel function. Further, for every wasted capture, said firm has reduces the number of successful registrations coming to their "partner" registrars, badly eroding our profits. This practice is in blatant disregard of the letter and spirit of our contract and constitutes a fatal breach." http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/registrars/msg02480.html __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?Tired of spam?
