One would think the contract between Tucows and the registrant expires one second after the registration expiration date. Tucows is running a business based on agreements. All domain registration service providers are required to post these agreements. If the registrant choices to ignore the original Registration Agreement it is their problem not Tucows. We as a domain registration service provider (Reseller) can fill in the gap by monitoring renewals, especially for those customers who do not pay attention to these critical details. What Tucows does after the expiration date is fine by me. If my customers can make a profit that is icing on a cake they did not pay for.
16. RENEWALS AND FORFEITURE. Domain names are registered for a finite period of time. You will receive reminders immediately prior to the expiration of your registration inviting you to renew your domain name. In the event that you fail to renew your domain name in a timely fashion, your registration will expire and we may, at our discretion, elect to assume the registration and may hold it for our own account, delete it or we may sell it to a third party. If you fail to renew your registration, your domain name may cease to resolve and visitors to your site may be redirected to a default page advising them that the site is no longer in service. If we have elected to renew the registration, you will be entitled to a grace period during which you may purchase the domain name from us. Additional costs may apply.

The only circumstance in which Tucows should have any right to auction a domain, or do anything else with it, is when the registrant permits it explcitly. And an unreachable contact has not explicitly permitted it. So -- hands off. _______________________________________________ domains-gen mailing list [email protected] http://discuss.tucows.com/mailman/listinfo/domains-gen _______________________________________________ domains-gen mailing list [email protected] http://discuss.tucows.com/mailman/listinfo/domains-gen
