This idea completely flies in the face of the entire
principle of the existing deletion/drop process.
I am totally against any such initiative. First past the
post is the only truly fair process in registration and
re-registration. Any attempt to mess with this idea is
due to encounter stumbling blocks. The recent .biz and
.info fiascoes are good examples of bad ideas like this
one. I think it would be best if registrars stick to
other business models and means/services to bring in
money, and not to go here...
William, please reconsider your candidacy for
participating on the Transfers TF.
