while google and icann may not kill tasting, what about the new registry proposals that would eliminate refunds for greater than 10% deletion rate?

so maybe its not dead, but just about.

Apologies, I should have said they need to earn more than 4k in the 5 day AGP period ($800 per day) from those 20k reges not 4k per day.

“At roughly 20,000 expiring domains coming through daily, the total ICANN fees if someone picked them all up would be small in comparison to the amounts that are being spent currently to acquire these premium generic domains.”

They would still need to it to be profitable to make economic sense to do it.

Even though the costs are relatively low at $4k per day assuming they registered 20k names, they need to earn *more* than $4k per day back from those domains.

And those domains won’t be the prime domains which will have been picked up higher up the foodchain.

If they can’t make $4k plus some kind of margin for overheads and profit back on those low quality domains then it doesn’t make economic sense even if they could afford it.
