Network solutions seems to be holding domains longer and longer after they expire. One domain I want is still with them though it expired four months ago.

Another passed the SIX months mark a few days ago.

OTOH, I intentionally dropped a domain at eNom, and it was passed back to the pool in only two weeks.

Shouldn't ICANN or someone specify a maximum time to return the domain name to the pool. The opportunities for sweetheart deals are enormous...:angry:

This is a bad game NetSol has been practising for a while. I had headeches transfering domains to other registras from them. I also feel ICANN shd impose a dropping back period on expired domains.
