We got about half of what we pre-registered. Couple of good
ones in the mix...bnm.us, hotlanta.us...and we lost out on
some good ones (call.us, visit.us and contact.us among them).

OK, we just did a quick post-mortem on the .us pre-registration process,
and it was not impressive.

We received exactly 10% of the domain names we submitted.

None of these names were what I would have considered to be high
profile, or interesting domains. In reviewing the names of the domains
we received, I would guess that we were the only one to have a
registration request in on the domains we were awarded.

Does anyone else have better results?

I'm not being critical of OpenSRS here, don't get me wrong. I'm simply
trying to understand whether it makes any sense to participate in these
events in the future, as this one will not pay for the time invested,
not to mention credit card processing fees for first accepting and now
refunding attempted orders.

Anyone with more impressive results?

-Tim
