RE: [registrars] I thought this was looked down on?

[Jeff Field <jfield@namesecure.com>]

Assuming you don't register a name that infringes on someone else's right
to the name (trademark issues and all that..."cybersquatting"),
people are allowed to register names that they think are worth something
to somebody else.  They have a right to advertise the fact that the
name is for sale (check out any auction site or domain broker site, you
will find tens of thousands of names for sale).  Using the
nameservers associated with the domain name to advertise the name as
being available for purchase is just another means, albeit creative, for
selling the name.  IMHO, any organized discussion about this would
be a complete waste of time.

I would tend to think this facilitates and promotes cybersquatting.  No?

Creative, but probably something we need to address in the COC.
