In summary, we are looking for a way to ensure that registrants have a reasonably and fairly priced way to retain a domain name, even if it had inadvertently expired in the recent past. We are essentially looking at it from two main perspectives:

- Impact on registrants who lose control of their domain name, potentially with significant financial or other impact; and - Impact on users who can no longer access web sites and services that they rely on.

I partially agree on this. I don't think Danny's statement does not go far enough. I am of the opinion that a registrar MUST NOT have an ability to participate on the auction or sale of those domain names! Such domain name MUST be placed back into the available pool, so that ANY other person is able to register that domain name. Without such prohibition, the playing field is not even. ------------------------------------------------------ Who is General Error and why is he reading my drive?
