Correction: Verisign GRS (Registry) suspended releasing domains, however,
all registrars, including NetSol, continue to send in batch delete orders to
the Registry. By my count, some 200 000 domains are already thus suspended
and the figure is growing daily by thousands if not tens of thousands. Since
ICANN is now involved, this process may well continue for months before they
come up with a solution concerning a "fair" access policy to domains being
released by the Registry. It will be interesting to see what they come up
with by the time there will be, say, 1 000 000 domains pending release.
