Why do you no longer do business with place you used to do business with?
|
Well this works only at places where is 100% competition. If some domain you wanted get caught by Pool and you are not in the auciton - you can not get the domain.
I can tell you that there is 10% of difficult customer, who are always waving "I am customer - I am boss" flag and those are for every company better to lose than maintain. In my export business I reject to do business with one or two customers every month for this very reason. To have sometimes hunt for a domain is simply part of the dropping game...

So you think that registrars hoarding dropping domains is a sustainable business practice?
|
Of course. Should they be giving it to poor ? Some smarter registrars are selling, stupids are hoarding. Namejet selling, Moniker selling, Dotster selling. Tucows hoarding - that is their decision.
If you would have YOUR OWN registrar, you would have also 100% right to decide what to do.

If not to govern, what is ICANN's purpose?
|
Govern against ILLEGALITIES. You are basically calling ICANN should force registrars to delete domains which their owners did not renew. But it is practically impossible to control, every single domain would need some expensive investigation to determine if previous owner did not renew or sold or whatever.

Last I checked domains aren't gold coins, outside of domain trading they do have an actual function.

There is practically UNLIMITED SUPPLY of domains to make this "function" work.

The public should have access to expiring domains via auction.

This is half non-domainer argument. Is half way between freedom and some liberal non-domainers willing to reditribute domains from those who collected great portfolios.
Seriosuly - there is LOTS OF LOTS OF domains to buy everywhere, enough to make for everyone, so the current system work well for all of us, doesn't it ?
