: A sixty day non use policy really is the pits. It will not stop anyone who
: wants to try and reclaim a name from going to law.
: 800,000 domain names x 60 days = 48,000,000
: 48,000,000 / 365 = 131,506 years
: So we would have lost over 131 thousand years of domain name use in a
: marketplace where time is already compressed to a huge degree. Think of the
: cramp that would have put on our industry.
: It frightens me. I have registered domain names, put up web sites, got
: publicity, received e-mail and been up and running with a project within
: one day.
: The new world does not favour the IBMs of this world, it favours the fleet
: of foot. A sixty day non-use period would no doubt be fine to those long
: gestation period projects, but not to anyone else.
: Lose it.
: Ivan
