Plus the EDDP was announced 3 months prior to its start date but 9 months
prior to it having any effect on the deletion of existing
domains.<br><br>

"...changes to the obligations in the RAA will apply beginning 21
December 2004. (These requirements retroactively apply to all existing
domain name registrations beginning 21 June 2005."<br><br>
Anything registered between December and June wouldn't be up for renewal
anyway so the EDDP has no impact until 21 June 2005.<br><br>

not be fooled. this workaround will last beyond Dec. since the way the
registrars are modifying their contracts they basically take over the
ownership of the name after expiry. therefore the registrant has changed
and the registrar is themselves the new registrant. if you read the
policy you will realize that it does not prevent this</font><br>

Inc</a>.: "Dotster Inc. announced today a new way to register
valuable expiring domain names....NameWinner customers will now be able
to bid on domain names that were registered at Dotster and its partner
registrars but have not been renewed by their owners. Beginning on the
domain expiration date, a list of these names will be made available
daily on the NameWinner.com site and bidding will be open until the 40th
day after the domain expiration date. If the current owner chooses not to
renew their domain, the name will be made exclusively available to
NameWinner customers. Unlike the previous methods of auctioning domains,
the winning bidder will be guaranteed the domain if the previous owner
does not renew." </font>
