[ga] Paper for Registrar Constituency Workshop

[Danny Younger <dannyyounger@xxxxxxxxx>]

This paper has been forwarded to Bhavin and Cole.

The Registry Auction Model

This proposal falls under the general heading of
Registry Services as defined within relevant ICANN
agreements.  The goal of this proposal is to provide a
new and steady source of revenue for ICANN while
resolving those issues associated with the contention
for expired domain names.

It is proposed that registries be allowed to provide
an auction service for expired domain names. 
Registries will establish a fee for the management of
such auction services (the auction management fee). 
All auction bids will be channeled from registrants
through their registrars to the Registry Auction
Service.  Expired domains will be awarded to the
highest bidder.  Those funds received from such awards
in excess of the combined domain name registration
fee, registrar processing fee and registry auction
management fee (the combined fees) will accrue to
ICANN.

Thank you for considering this proposed model.

Best wishes,
Danny Younger
