I'd have to agree with the analysis above. If the names drop, then this would be just another take on the secondary market. The Tucows auction service as well as the global objectives outlined in "Perfect Information" (http://www.byte.org/blog/_archives/2004/9/3/135064.html) are meant to explore the market for names that are about to expire but haven't yet. Re-registrations, as you point out, are an entirely different matter. - --
