Well I cant see any slipping through with only me as the registrant, so everything to auction, and only the wealthy will win those type of auctions.

Looks like the IP folk prior to 2008 will get most of them.

Shame really, a free for all auction would have seen some hefty prices.

For those in the know, was there any kind of consideration for maximum number of domains per "individual registrant" and "registrar" type conversations?

Sorry haven't had a chance to read through fully - so there's bound to be landrush and TM limits, but are there also limits on "registrars" set up since say 2007 or 2008 when this was first muted?

For example LIVEDOMAINS and FASTHOSTS - Livedomains is as far as I know a very recent registrar tag...

Please don't tell me there is a "weighting" for anyone in this process.

I know the individual registrant, won't stop some people getting brothers, sister's, friends, etc etc but it may help level the playing field a little......

Caz - you may well be right... those with the deepest pockets will be able to secure the most, if not all, the domains... I would not think any of these will be less than <£1500 at auction because of it...

I actually have a reasonably balanced view that if :

a. all domains were put to good use (ie. not just used to flip or profit from), I am not overly worried - but woudl prefer an equal sharing out

b. all funds could be seen to be directly benefiting a good cause - with a tangible dispay of exactly what it's been used for
