[nc-transfer] Re: WLS proposal

["James Love" <james.love@cptech.org>]

Here is an important reason why domain holders would be better off under
my proposal.   During the 30 day period when people signed up for the
lottery to get the expired name, anyone who wanted could contact the
previous owner of the domain, and ask them to reregister the name
(permitted during the 30 day period), and then sell it.  If the domain
holder had let the domain expire by mistake, they would then be alerted. 
If the domain holder did not make a mistake, they would then be informed
that (a) the domain has value and (b) the name of one or more persons
willing to buy it.  In every case where someone actually contacted the
previous owner of the domain, the domain owner would be better off.
