[QUOTE="jmcc, post: 2348229, member: 80388"] Probably has accelerated since then. A lot of people who register in ccTLDs don't seem to want to register in .COM so the domain name that they register only exists in the ccTLD and in no other TLDs. The more that a ccTLD takes over in its own country, the more common those unique domain names. This is why it is sometimes difficult to sell a .COM to the registrant of a ccTLD equivalent. Sometimes it does but in this case the whole multi-stakeholder model (registries, registrars, Intellectual Property, At Large, Civil Society) worked against it taking prompt action. Some did but there was a kind of irrational exuberance where a lot of people had bought into the idea of New gTLDs. The projections did not seem to be based on any knowledge of the domain name industry. Some of it. There's a lot of advertising, highly speculative registrations and blackhat SEO registrations with scraped content. Some of the larger new gTLDs have evolved into two parallel TLDs (the genuine TLD and the heavily discounted registrations that don't renew). The problem with some of the smaller new gTLDs was that when they resorted to discounting, they swamped any natural development. Not sure of the renewal costs but they generally are more than the discounted regfee. That's another problem. There are registrars who provide "registration as a service" to their resellers but the domain names are still registered via the registrar. ICANN technically only has a legal agreement with the registrar rather than the reseller. The reseller market, based on the monthly gTLD transactions report that I publish is about 24% of the gTLD market. There is talk in ICANN groups of the registry/registrar/reseller model but these things take years to resolve and the hard part is distinguishing registrars and resellers. A reseller may not be an ICANN accredited registrar but may have a substantial number of ccTLD domain names as a ccTLD registrar. Some of the larger registrar operator brands have hundreds of hosting brands and some of them are accredited ccTLD registrars. The big problem for ICANN is when a reseller disappears and the gTLD registrant goes looking for their domain name. They end up having to deal with the RAS registrar that had the agreement with the reseller. Regards...jmcc [/QUOTE]
