NSI's expiration policies

[Shalazar]

I was FINALLY able to register the second top level domain for my website, charismacarpenter.com.[nbsp][nbsp]I registered Jan 17 2001, approxiamte 100 days after the record expired from NSI.[nbsp][nbsp]Can you believe that?[nbsp][nbsp]The record expired on October 19, 2000.

NetworkSolutions offered ambiguities whenever confronted with the issue in mail or via phone, and on one day I spoke to three different people and was told three different stories of how domains re-emerge to the public domain.

And requests for supervisors went unanswered.

So just warning anyone who may be sitting with baited breath on a domain name to reappear.[nbsp][nbsp]You may want to find something to keep you busy in the meantime.

I've been waiting on a domain name to be released from NSI that expired in May 2000 :)

I for one, speaking as a serious procrastinator, am kinda glad they hang on to the lapsed domains for at least a bit. I let my domain lapse by only a day or two, mostly because I have a bad address on file with NSI and didn't realize it had lapsed right away... and partly because I am, as difficult as this might be to believe, lazy.
