Background:
Currently the two registrars (Netsol.com and Register.com) are holding
names back from the public by selling them off on their resale sites
(Greatdomains.com and Afternic.com respectively) at a fixed price. They
claim they are trying to cover costs Greatdomains.com link is at:

Afternic link is at:

My questions:
I would like to know we as OpenSRS resellers have any such policy
against doing the same thing? Could we not as resellers, recoup our
costs from charge backs, get control of that name and put it back into
the market? We can offer new registrants option as "cheap" names on our
sites?
We can provide OpenSRS with the charge back details and wait 90 days
then let OpenSRS give us control? This way just like other Registrars,
the domain will stay in OpenSRS, and they can get a additional year
too.
Or, We can let OpenSRS know the details and they can maintain a
database of names that are delinquent from all resellers and create a
"resale site" just for those domains. We resellers then point to that
site labelling as "cheap domains". If a reseller domain is sold, they
get credited in their a/c?
Your thoughts please.
Jeff.
