Since there are several members here trying to sell 3rd level sub-domains to dnf members it can easily result in some newbie's buying them without realizing sub-domains are not really fully controlled or technically owned by the buyer (as far as ICANN and standard Whois is concerned), and really have no true value, IMO. Plus they would be worthless if the seller goes out of business, of course.
Any one of us could offer sub-domains for sale based on the domains we already own. All we would need is a sales/reg contract and setup the sub-domain on our server, hmmmmm, it is surprising more domainers are not trying to do so?
I think discussion about sub-domains being 'sold' is definately something which should be well covered in DNF. In fact, I would go so far as to say a special forum should be used for these so as to not get them confused with regular domains for sale.
P.S. Regarding dot-biz. No, ICANN did not offer a tld already established as that .biz was not an ICANN recognized or sanctioned tld.
