Reserved LL's

Do you think Nominet will ever release the reserved LL.co.uk's?

As a domainer what would you pay to own a LL.co.uk?

rob · 13-07-2008, 01:47 PM

Yes I think they will, once an acceptable manner of release has been found.

How would you release them? (general question)

How far off do you think, years or months?

Auction.

Probably the day after they have a proper system to do it

Who would run the auction, who would profit from it, why should the person with the deepest pockets get the name? What about Nominet's not for profit / first come first served rules?

Nominet. Nominet. That's how the world goes around. Would be better than them being dropped and released to the public pool for registration. Would imagine the dominant catches getting a bulk of them if that happened.

I think that they should just randomly release one every month. No idea which name. No idea which day. No idea which time.

That means that A N Other punter could concievably stumble upon it.

Drop catchers would use up their DAC quotas scanning all 2 letter combos every day (although he list would get shorter, I grant you), so that would mean that a certain number of regular drops would get picked up by others or left for the general public.

Edit; in fact, to add another random factor, don't gaurantee to make one available every month even. So you could watse your DAc check on nothing for an entire month.

I believe it has been looked at a few times in the past, and the stumbling block is *how* to release them that is fair to all.

Why is that better than first come first served, I am sure many catchers here would disagree. Likewise those who manually reg, it would be very unlikely that they would nab a LL.co.uk but stranger things have happened.

Would people like Nominet in direct competition with their business? ie. entering the secondary market , and auctioning competition for Sedo or others?

If Nominet auction UK.co.uk for a million thats hardly not for profit, and there is already uproar about their cash pile so growing it would not the worlds greatest idea.

Then you have the people with TM's etc who believe they ought to have the names. See VW.de case for what might happen.
