What Bad Policies and Artificial Shortages Cause
http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/regis trars/doc00043.doc
"As you may be aware, over the past couple of months there has been a dramatic increase in the number of entities seeking registrar accreditation from ICANN and applying to enter Registry-Registrar Agreements (“RRAs”) with VeriSign, Inc. as registry for the .com and .net top-level domains. In July and August of this year, 136 new registrars were accredited by ICANN and sought access to the Shared Registration System (“SRS”). From April 2003 thru June 2004, the number of registrars entering the SRS averaged 4 per month; and from July 2004 to August 2004 the average number increased to 29 per month."
"It is clear that the growing lines to become a .com/.net registrar are not the result of a sudden, broad-based increase in demand for domain name registrations. Rather, the increase has been fueled by a small number of entities seeking (through their registrar affiliates) to amass additional transaction capacity within the batch pool. These firms can use the additional capacity to intensify the rate at which they barrage the batch pool with high volume, automated and continuous “add” commands, thereby increasing their chances of capturing domain names upon their deletion from the registry database."
===
ICANN of course loves the 29 applicants per
month at ?? $10,000 ?? each, plus all of the costs
of the rectal exams performed by the ICANN
insiders. Verisign of course also gets a huge
fee for each franchisee.
