Hello All, Here is another work item that we should be aware of and include in the planning for next 4 months and next 12 months:
From the minutes of 13 January 2005: http://www.gnso.icann.org/meetings/minutes-gnso-13jan05.htm
"Whereas the high demand amongst registrars to register specific domain names that become available for re-registration at the registry has lead to unforeseen impact and strains on the registration infrastructure of gTLD registries and registrars. Whereas this affects the service level that registrars can provide to their customers and the meaning of ICANN accredited as it applies to registrars, Council resolves, to request the ICANN staff manager to write an issues report (as specified in annex A to the ICANN by-laws) on the "Problems caused by contention for domain names made available by a gTLD registry ", so that Council can subsequently decide if a policy development process would be appropriate " Regards, Bruce Tonkin
