Hi Doug,

To clarify - it was recommended to publicise the drop list in order to offer
greater transparency for both losing and/or potentially new registrants.

In the past the name drop process required industry knowledge as to when the
names would drop and only Registrars had access to the list of names that
dropped out of their own client portfolio. By seeing the entire list you now
have a better opportunity to re-register or pick-up a name.

Of course your best bet is to go to one of the drop service providers.

Regards,


Amin Kroll

Thanks yes I can see if you guys are getting that many instantly and someone
else is getting the rest by the looks of it the drop list is a bit of a
waste of time for the average Joe looking through the list. Makes me wonder
why auDA bother producing the list in the first place (apart from
facilitating the couple of businesses that jump on them) or alternatively
why doesn't auDA just run their own auction in the first place? The joys of
quasi regulation....

On another note good on you for commercialising the domain market there is
an obvious demand for such a service,

Doug

You need to check out the Domain Expiry auctions at

www.drop.com.au
www.netfleet.com.au

Netfleet (which my company half  owns) tends to get between 75 and 95% of
the names it tries to catch.
