Ed Foster reports about registrants who transferred their domain names away from Network Solutions, but on October 1 received expiration notices that offered to renew the domain names in question for an extra fee. NetSol later sent a letter apologizing for sending out erroneous notices to former clients.
Sounds like the pattern observed in messages to the ALAC's forum address and to Dave Farber's IP list in early October.
The marketing spin: At exactly this time, hundreds of thousands of extremely attractive names, taken on most other TLDs like .com, .net, .org, .biz and .info, suddenly becomes available, probably for the last time in many years. .NAME is the last TLD to become fully open of the 7 new top-level-domains introduced by ICANN in 2001.
