My personal opinion is that the IANA should recommend that the InterNIC simply unregister the names.

I second that, especially for the country names.

If you read the fine print on the InterNIC application for changing domain names, the InterNIC reserves the right to review the entire application as a new application if the change requests a change to the Organization information. Therefore, a straightforward attempt to transfer a .COM domain name to another entity results in a new application for that name. This makes it smoother to do coordinated transfers, but if InterNIC re-considers the transfer it makes the rights about what Sean said he would bid in an earlier message. ($1) By the way, domain names are not uniquely speculated. About two years ago, a company widely circulated an offer to sell 1-800-INFO-HIWAY for about US$20,000. I passed. --Kent
