RE: [Signature Support] Failed Order/Registration [Incident: 060505-001270]

To the Attention of ICANN:

Dear Sir/Madam, 

For many years I have had the domain WWW.OPENCROSS.COM as part of our
University's registration for the conference and publications related to
the public-private sector partnerships events. Owing to changes in the
IT provision at Sheffield Hallam University, the new registration was
not accepted as soon after its expired date the domain was transferred
to another user and I was offered to buy back my own domain name.
 
It is not good enough that people like me work very hard to create a
title/name and have that registration only to find out that in a very
brief span that same name is snapped out by others to try to make money
out of it.
 
I think this is a serious case in terms of security, honesty, and good
business practice. It seems to me that organisations responsible for
domain registration are just greed enough to let the name be taken out
by anybody else other than the original owner of the title. 

By many account, I believe that once a registration is made out for a
specific users and payment made on more than one occasion, the owner has
the right of that name or title and only by legal and official
transferring rights can that name be used by others (I think).
 
Can you advise further on this matter??? as you se below that I have
been recommended to address this issue to your attention. 

Thanks in advance for your co-operation!
 
Best Regards,

Response (Heidi B) - 05/05/2006 08:46 PM Hello,

Before the domain expired in Dec. of last year notices were sent 90 day
prior every two weeks and at 60 days prior every week and at 30 days
prior every 2 days.  The domain after it expired was still available to
be renewed and reclaimed by the owner for 65 days.  If you still wish to
retrieve this domain you may petition ICANN and the  current registrar
for the right to own that name again.

certain owner, only by legal and official transferring rights can that
name be used by others, I think.
 
Can you advise further on this matter???
