Regardless of whether or not the expiring reseller participates in the auction the domain will be put in auction at the time of expiry. > Or > will his domain name not be included in the auction at all because he > didn't give explicit consent at that time? consent is not required > I was having an offlist discussion with another reseller who said that > as he understood it, a domain name won't be auctionable unless the > registrant gives explicit consent at the expiration time, that is not correct. by not renewing the domain the registrant is forfeiting the ability to consent to anything other than to receive a portion of the proceeds of the domains sale. > but as I > understood the system, domain names will be eligible for inclusion > (assuming the reseller participates) even if the registrant is > unreachable.

A reseller will however benefit from any domain that is sold through their instance of an auction. Hope this clarifies things.
