Now that is ridiculous. That name expired in Feb of 97. Why is NetSlo
allowed to get away with this? Isn't there anything we can do about it?
Cheers!

Subject: A plea to ICANN
Does ICANN have a policy about how it's approved registrars shall
release names? If don't believe they do... and if they don't, I would
like to demand that ICANN develop a policy and enforce it. ICANN should
specify what the longest grace period (if any) shall be, and how soon
after names are to be released. It's ridiculous that each ICANN approved
registrar can handle expirations differently, even auction them off!
This lends the system to abuse (NSI) and inconsistency. Just wait until
next Jan when some of the first one-year registrations come due - that
ought to be interesting. If a registrar can sit on an expired domain
name at presumably no cost to them, they are depriving other registrars
of potential revenue (look at Yen.com... this name has deprived
registrars of 4 years worth or revenue) - and this is likely to continue
to deprive all registrars and resellers of revenue.
Is there anyone we can unite and petition ICANN to demand them to
establish expiration guidelines? What is OpenSRS's expired domain
policy? I couldn't find anything in the FAQ's about this.
