They COULD still be in business but their success rate will drop
significantly.

This is bad news as most of those companies didn't have a high
success rate to begin with.

so every one have use snapname only what happen to other company like expirefish, namewinner etc.

Just like when any other monopoly is set up. Hundreds become unemployed :mad:

While a bunch of greedy corporate thieves and their paid puppets at ICAAN bathe in their SWISS BANK ACCOUNTS.

Fortunately its not comletely over yet.

kid yourself: It is over. Stick a fork in it.

You must be referring to Dotster's greed of 11K for names like playgirl.com. They did themselves in. Ditto for enom's price-gouging 'club drop. Good riddance!

How dare they let the price of a domain in an open auction system reach the dizzying heights of a fraction of its market value - shame on them.

Its not over yet. It hasn't even begun.
And if the right people get interested in this matter it will never
go through.

Right people with deep pockets that is...

No kidding. How dare they let open market forces and good honest competition rule the day. It almost makes the communist wannabe in me want to puke:rolleyes:

---Yeah. the very activity that ICANN prohibits in the UDRP. Registrars got away with murder, but registrants get names taken for this behaviour via WIPO precedents.

...But alas--No Mas!!

It has nothing to do with the udrp, and for that matter it doesn't go against the accreditation agreement either.

Namewinner sell the admin portion of the domain getting *before* they register the domain - hence they have a *buyer* before they register and thus its not speculation or hoarding.

Of course, the icann accreditation agreement is unclear in this regard anyway as it refers to policies which they don't actually have.

Namewinner will continue to be a choice for those who are not willing to pay the WLS price, whatever that ends up being retail. Of course, anyone paying the WLS price will be assured of getting a name IF and WHEN it expires. Namewinner costs nothing until you are successful.

I believe I read that a SnapBack will not count towards a WLS

That would be logical, since you may need to clean the slate to make it fair for everyone at the beginning? Snaps could convert SBs back to credits to buy WLS subs.

Since registrars will have a hand in reselling WLS subs, I wonder if the insider jobs are already being planned - if and when the slate is wiped clean. Figuring the out would make or break any of our speculative attempts to move in on the WLS.

>The WLS advocates win!!!

Hardly. ICANN' s just bought themselves a whole mess of trouble.

In some ways, this is better than if they'd stopped the WLS, because now there's even MORE reason todismantle ICNN and replace it with what it was SUPPOSED to be.

I'm sure the insider deals were finalized months ago. Verisign
will make millions in the first second of implementation and then
it will be all over. Those with the resources will win the game -
just like today. I only wonder if Snap is planning on refunding
my last remaining subscriptions - I assume they can afford to
now......
