This all looks well and good;

"AUCTIONING EXPIRED DOMAIN NAMES ? GOOD OR BAD FOR CONSUMERS? ? ICANN also recently posted an ?advisory? to raise awareness of plans by two registrars to begin directly selling or auctioning expired domain registrations. If registrants fail to renew their domain names at the conclusion of an expiration grace period, NSI and Tucows plan to auction the rights to these domain names, instead of allowing them to ?drop back into the pool? of names available for re-registration on a first-come, first-served basis, as is currently the process. Both registrars plan to give part of the auction price to the prior registrant (NSI plans to give 20% or less, Tucows plans to give about 80%). Is this good for registrants? Should registrars have the right to control and auction these names and, if so, what is ICANN?s role? What might this mean for ICANN?s delete policy and Verisign?s proposed wait list service? Do you have an opinion? Post your views via email to forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

So let us follow this through after over a month; http://forum.icann.org/alac-forum/;

I am afraid that at-larges outreach can be described only as a complete failure. Losers to a t and a capital "L". They are disgraceful and incompetent. A lame dog could do more to arouse interest in it's festering wound.  These guys are so bad at doing what they are doing I am ashamed to be a member of the same race, ie human race. The only honorable thing that they could possibly do is resign due to complete stupidity and ignorance and laziness.

Sincerely,

Eric Dierker
