Thats a VERY GOOD point. Here's a scenario for the list.. Imagine if you were or are an ordinary shareholder of a company who was successful in the previous generic auction process that was run, paying $100K+ for a generic domain.. Continue imagining the business goes belly up. Imagine the look on the Administrator's face when he goes to sell the 100K domain name.. LOL I reckon auDA might be in for a fight.. We all know the actual business name and /or company name wont be sold. It has tax and creditor liabilities. It has no appreciable business name or company name goodwill. The only appreciable asset is the domain name, which has a history of being sold at auction. The asset which can't be sold, but was sold originally at auction, and is now not in use, but theoretically could be.. Forgetting the legalities, what about the ethics.. I also would have also thought that auDA has some sort of ethical responsibilty to the workers of the hypothetical company that paid 100K for a generic from them. The workers didn't know anything about the process and how a bunch of blokes they've never at a place called auDA met and made up some cyber rules that are going to deny them their super.. Additionally, please help me understand what happens when auDA denies the sale and takes back the domain. Does auDA get to sell the name again at another future auction, or does it just go into the pool and it's FCFS? Regards. Mike.
