Hello Eric,
(1) Registry implement auction mode for deleted names where there is more than one registrar wishing to register the same name
My preference today <registrar hat==on> is for registrars to "own" the "deleted front-end". My preference tomorrow <registry hat==on> may not be the same. I suspect I'll always want vgrs not to implement the auction mode.
Does that mean you would prefer a different entity run the auction system rather than the registry? I guess this could be done using a competitive tender process operated by ICANN to operate the ".com registry auction system" for names about to be re-released. Problem is it would take time. Regards, Bruce
