[ga] Registrar Domain Hoarding? (update)


Nearly 2 months ago, I sent the message below about a domain that expired
long ago, but was still in the "Unpaid Names Dept" of Register.COM. In the
mean time I've contacted Register.COM, who was hoarding the domain name
number9.org, and was able to register it throught them. (See their Whois
since March 21 I am the registrant.)

So if you want an unpaid name of Register.COM contact them. All it took
me, was an email, to which they replied to call them, which I did. Now
this is not proper procedure, I know. In fact it stinks. But isn't proper
procedure very much out of favour in ICANN since shortly before Accra?

I am sorry. Sarcastic mood tonight.
