Hi The InterNIC appreciates the concerns of the Internet community about the auction of a block of domain names. Until now, we have maintained the position that we have no oversight responsibility regarding the resale of domain names other than they be actively used on the Internet. If you have any constructive comments about the role that the domain registrar should take in this case, we will be happy to help develop an IANA sanctioned policy to exercise such a role. There is a list already setup to discuss domain policy-related matters - domain-policy@internic.net. To subscribe, send a message to domain-policy-request@internic.net with "subscribe domain-policy" in the body of the message.
