For Sale Pool launches 'OLS'

[Together]

Here is my take on the whole scenerio in a nut shell.

Snapnames dropped the ball on the RRP name grabbing deal while Pool.com came in and dominated the market. Snapnames wanted to maintain a relationship with NSI so they did nothing for more than a year waiting on WLS until NSI heard that Tucows was going to auction off expired names before they were sent into redemption period. NSI knew they wanted to do this for a long time and once they heard Tucows plan they decided the time was now. NSI activated their partnership with Snapnames to copy Tucows in auctioning pre-RGP domains (which they are doing now). ICANN, Pool and a bunch of others are freaking out and launching lawsuits. Now Pool is doing what NSI is doing and what Tucows has announced they will do but with slightly different terms.

The long version is much more complicated (and interesting) but I won't bore you with the details.

ICANN needs to step in right now and freeze all this crap.

All of this is why WLS made a lot of sense.

Disagree.

If anything this is a very realistic telling of why WLS should never come to fruition since the major parties involved Snapnames, Netsol (which Verisign is still a stock holder of and main WLS advocate) appear to have no problems with disregarding generalized domain registrant (RGP protocol) rights for financial gains.

Interesting how silent Verisign has been on the WLS front since this all began. I'm banking they like the auction bid percentage they are feasting on. Sure beats the 40 dollar pittance they were offering up just a few months ago.

Right, the same UN that ran the "Food For Peace" scandal in Iraq. The same UN that runs the refugee camps in Palestine that are the training grounds for suicide bombers.

That's GOP-fed BS. Please keep politics out.
