Let me not give its name this time, but you know it.
A registrar is trying to sell expired domains of its customers,
but those domains still belong to the same person, who can renew them for 30 days
(sometimes,..up to 75 days)
That registrar will make a deal, and at the 30th day grab the domain and sell.
This is obviously not ethical, but is this ok with Icann?
(they can still overall be fair,.. but probably they won't be.
they are not even reasonable, or consistent, or, responsive..
and this is why they collect "buyer info", but hide it from actual owner.)
Selling domains you don't own: what is this called.
In the past, they were saying "we can sell your domains".
Looks like this is what they really meant.
We make outbound, and make a deal, and hope you don't renew..
