Bottle Domains Liquidation

8536 .au domain names were registered with Australian Style when its registrar accreditation was terminated, and they were transferred to auDA. Since then 4884 names have been transferred to other registrars or resellers. The remaining names will need to be transferred before they expire if they are to be renewed.

With any luck there might some decent names in those 4884 domains and they should help bolster the expiry auctions over the coming months and years.

The domains were not terminated, just the registrar. Owners didn't lose their domains, they just went elsewhere with auDA as an intermediary I believe.

I think you misread his post. He didn't say they've been deleted yet, we was saying the domains that have not yet been transferred from auDA (as the intermediary registrar) to another registrar as part of the process will come up for renewal and subsequently drop - and there might be some gems in there.

My bad, sometimes my shoot first, ask questions later approach doesn't work so well!
