Hello All, Whoops. Sent my previous note to the wrong list. I am in a Board meeting, and there is discussion (agenda item 4) about the process for transferring names from de-accredited registrars. See: http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-06jun08-en.htm The staff proposal includes the option (in section 6.2) of using auctions if ICANN is not otherwise able to select a new registrar. I was just formally declaring, as is my practice, a possible conflict of interest in the discussion. Regards, Bruce Tonkin
