With regards the issue of prospectors trying to grab deleted domains, perhaps the InterNIC should use a similar policy to what the FCC uses for radio callsigns (amateur radio, at least): Callsigns which are abandoned due to change of callsign, death, or expiration of the license are unavailable for re-issue for two years. This allows for the previous owner (if not dead) to reclaim the callsign (or a relative of the deceased to do so). It also helps avoid identity confusion. Seems like the same rules would make sense in the domain name context, and would avoid problems where billing errors or other problems dealing with the Internic could result in loss of a domain name. -- ------------------------------------------------------- Daniel Senie [email protected] OpenROUTE Networks, Inc. http://www.openroute.com/ 508-898-2800
