A ridiculous sentence out there

"PIR is concerned about the growth of domain tasting in the .ORG registry,

during the 5-day add-grace period."

I don't find it ridiculous at all. The idea that free-ride speculators (as opposed to speculators who actually have money at risk) who use the 5-day grace periods should ante up some cash is a good one.


Given the huge numbers of names that these folks cycle through every week, even $0.25 per name could add up to several millions of dollars. Having to actually pay that kind of money could really slow 'em down.
