Chuck,

One of the problems that we registrants are facing
stems from Terms of Service Agreements deliberately
designed to circumvent the Expired Domain Deletion
Policy.  For example, consider this clause in the
Network Solutions Service Agreement version 7.7.7:

"Should you not renew the domain name during any
applicable grace period, you agree that unless you
notify us to the contrary we may, in our sole
discretion, renew and transfer the domain name to
Network Solutions or a third party on your behalf
(such a transaction is hereinafter referred to as a
"Direct Transfer"), and your failure to so notify us
after the domain name expiration date shall constitute
your consent to such a Direct Transfer."
