Subject:	Afilias made a public statement
Message:
Afilias made a public statement that *ALL* questionable Sunrise registration would be challenged. e.g. http://www.thinkbig.net/specials/info-illegitimate.html That includes all questionable registrations by mr. Plankenstein, and if he created his own financial monster, that's his problem. By the way, I have been monitoring the WHOIS database and pre-registered only *after* the sunrise period was over. This means I lost out on quite a few domain names I wanted. I would like to have another shot at them, but without paying US $75 effectively. I am in favour of a  Landrush II for the questionable (and hence discarded) sunrise registrations. They should go back in a special public pool. I like the 1 "lottery ticket" per person idea, but the problem is: how can you enforce just one entry per person?
