I guess I don’t see the value to this – how much of a difference in price is there in reality, as domain names – namely the .com, .net & .org TLDs – are relatively cheap?

Then when someone will check if a good domain is in tier 2 or 3 will buy it to hijack the domain. Or if the buyer get notified about this posibility registran will use “force” tier 2 and 3 to upgrade…

Are Tier 2 and Tier 3 just another form of tasting a domain name to see if it is worth jumping to Tier 1?

This is a patent for common sense.

Its like Nasa’s gravity defying pen when the Russians used a pencil.

Registries are highly inlikely to be able to drop individual names below marginal cost or ICANNs issuance price, otherwise it then becomes a function of market distortion and different pricing for different customers. Why should xyz pay more for a LEASED domain renewal right that someone new on the block.

Checking the checkbox below and looking forward to hearing arguements for – and against – this.
