Re: [NA-Discuss] "Chicken and Egg" Problem
by Alan Greenberg April 5, 2012

April 5, 2012

I doubt that Moniker does this as a benevolent way to fund ICANN. Multiple accreditations allow them (perhaps among other things) them to pick up more dropped names quickly, overcoming the rules some registries have in place regarding the number (or rate) of pickups of dropped names. My understanding is that some registries (.org in particular) place additional limits on drop-catching, but I don't recall the details. Alan At 02/04/2012 01:25 PM, Eduardo Diaz wrote: >Wow!
