Stop Internet Domain Name Squatters
Sign Now
We, the undersigned, believe that what is happening nowadays, regarding the handling of expired internet domain names, by most of the registrars, is nothing but a crude form of extortion.
Making use of squatters, even if indirectly, those registrars are preventing the access of legitimate companies and individuals to expired domain names at a fair and reasonable price.
We demand that ICANN takes the appropriate measures against this situation through the creation of a "well known squatter list". A list of people and/or companies that clearly register domain names with the only intent of profit through the re-sale of domain names at exorbitant prices, ten or more times higher than an initial domain registration cost, and/or occupy those domains web spaces with the clear intent of only generating traffic for third party contractors, not making a direct and legitimate use of it. While listed in that database, those individuals and/or companies would be disallowed to register any internet domain names.
Also, we demand that ICANN establishes a fixed, fair, and clearly justified value, for the fee to apply to the rightful owner of a domain name, by the registrar, if he intends to regain posession of the expiring domain name while in the what is known as the Redemption Period.
Finally we demand that expiring domain names do not end up on on-line auctions and are simply removed for the database, put back in the pool of available names, so that they can again be registered by anyone at the usual new domain names registering prices.
