I agree with this completely. The large number of hoarded domains also
puts compensation to the registry for a longer grace period, suggested in
the new ICANN paper, in a strange light. The registry of COM/NET/ORG does
not seem to care much for the lost revenue of on hold domains.

Also, why should only the registry be compensated for the loss of possible
profit through a longer grace period? The registrars also face this...

All in all: Patchwork. ICANN should come up with a complete solution for
the expiration/renewal/hoarding problem. And make WLS obsolete in the
process.
