Supplementary note from the Commercial and Business Users Constituency: Warehousing

["BC Secretariat" <secretariat@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

With respect to the provisions on warehousing of domain names, it seemed 
that what most concerned everyone was that ICANN registrars, by virtue of 
the RAA, had access to a pool of expiring domain names that they could 
"store" for future use or sale.

That information and access meant they had preferential market information 
which they could use to advantage themselves over others who may wish to 
purchase expiring names.  This creates a two tier system where some in the 
marketplace are disadvantaged.  Some are concerned about the 
anti-competitive nature of this.
