[registrars] Regarding Verisign monthly report for October 2005

["Bruce Tonkin" <Bruce.Tonkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

The report at:
http://www.icann.org/tlds/monthly-reports/com-net/verisign-200510.pdf 
Has some interesting stats.

During October 2005, there was a total of 43,228,923 .com names under
management (up from 42,541,300 in the previous month), however in that
single month 20,580,207 .com names were deleted.   I would presume that
most of the 20 million deletions occurred during the 5 day add-grace
period.   

It is also interesting to note that some registrars have many more
deletions than they have names under management :-)

Regards,
Bruce
