In September 2004 both Network Solutions and Tucows announced that they were going to go into the auction business for expired domain names. See http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-21 sep04-1.htm
In effect expired domain names will remain with the registrar and auctioned off by them to the highest bidder. Tucows proposed giving 80% of the proceeds from the sale to the original registrant, NSI proposed 20%. I wondered how this would effect companies like Snapnames when I read this.
After the advisory posting on ICANN's site there hasn't been any more said about this...until now that is with Verisign's announcement. Be interesting to see where this leads...

Full of anonymous cowards, you mean. :) I purchased math.com from the prior owners, and it's an active website serving the public as anyone can verify. Nothing wrong with that.
What that has to do with deleting domains, only you and your psychiatrist will ever know....
