>>>Why not let many flowers bloom, the market would soon determine which endings
were popular and more endings would bring down resale prices.<<< I would guess
that bringing down the resale market and devaluing the .com is not a goal of Afilias,
who seems to hold ICANN (at least the preparers of the application review) in the
palm of their hand. Devaluing the resale market would hurt Verisign & Register.com
(part of Afilias), who own GreatDomains.com and Afternic.com, the two largest resale
sites in the world. Did you know Register.com bought Afternic.com (the resale
site) for $41 million eariler this year? And NSI isn't illegally holding those
expired domain names because it hopes they'll lose value... --M Lynn
