oh well,

it tells us a few things:

1. why snapnames did no react earlier, after all this was threatening their
business, now it only enhances it
2. the backroom deals are already made
3. again somebody else got/has the edge

in answer to this we might perhaps come to a model where we, since we are
more expensive then they are under all circumstances, because we have to)
might give the customer x amount discount when he signs a straight away
release to allow us to pick up the domain if and when he(she) lets it expire
or no longer wants it.
That should sound "proper" enough i think.

thinking of the "proper" way, what do we do with non-paid for domains (CC
Fraud, yes it happens a lot) do we drop them too ? or do we try to re-sell
them ? and if we re-sell do w do that including the cost for the chargeback
or excluding ?

Dear mr Allen (Scot for friends and enemies)

can we please please have some tools added that are maybe slightly less
ethical in the eyes of some, so those who want to make it worth their while
can do something against this hungry machine called verisign, who (in asnwer
to another email) does NOT drop domains as we are supposed to do ?
