[gnso-pednr-dt] two real-world examples of PEDNR problems

["Mike O'Connor" <mike@xxxxxxxxxx>]

funny how you get "attuned" to things when you're working on them.  here are a 
couple of real-life examples.

this first one is a great example of the degree of confusion that exists.  the 
city of Morehead, Kentucky lost their domain on the drop -- and they're 
accusing the buyer of cyber-squatting.

in a second example, the domain kat.com was pulled from a SnapNames auction -- 
bidding had reached $20k.  i'm guessing here -- i bet the RAE woke up and got 
their name renewed post-expiry, thus short-circuiting the auction.

food for thought.
