I was just struck by a couple of statistics:

In January 2007, according to PIR five registrars deleted 1,773,910 domain names during the grace period and retained 10,862. That same month, VeriSign reported that among top ten registrars, 95% of all deleted .COM and .Net domain names were the result of domain tasting.
So, if they charged a $ 1 "return fee," they would either
- produce revenues of several million USD per month (unlikely) or - cut domain tasting by about 2 orders of magnitude.
... or both. I think I could live with that, all things being equal. - - ferg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Desktop 9.6.2 (Build 2014) wj8DBQFGwSaBq1pz9mNUZTMRAoxDAKCUZ8s/Q/tRF6NC0T7jC6SRFy1zVACgplR4 NZVluA1bG+T0JiZuZrsrVGQ= =Ey48 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
