We talked about something similar on the last call.
Realizing that a lot of the speculative value of a domain lies with the
goodwill that accrues to it because of the initial registrant, it was
proposed that all domain names slated for deletion are put into a cooling
tank for x days beyond the 30 days described in the Redemption Grace Period
proposal.
This would create a situation whereby registrants would be guaranteed a
right of re-registration "if they forgot to renew" and eliminate or diminish
trainspotting by ensuring a prolonged 404-like condition over a reasonably
extended period of time before the name was deleted. Once cooled, the domain
could be deleted and re-registered by anyone on a first-come, first served
basis (and get a name relatively free of baggage).
In my mind, this proposal has much to commend it in its simplicity and
perceived effectiveness.
