I find the lottery set up strange and inequitable.
Say my company is called William and so is yours.
Neither of us have the .com and are hoping to get William.Biz
Now i'm a small company that earns $50,000. a year in after tax profit. A
one person shop.
You are a large company, that earns $5,000,000,000 a year in after tax
profit.
I buy 20 tickets to get .biz, and you buy 20,000 tickets to get .biz.
Odds are that you end up with .biz, unless your Karma really sucks.
Something weird about that, imo. Things should be as level as possible
during the first round.
Weird like the premium que idea in .info.
