		codebook on Nov 17, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The .blog Bait and Switch In my case, my surname TLD exists like XXX.{surname}. So I bought it w/ my first name ==> firstname.surname . It's cool and I will keep it as long as I can. I agree with the OP. They seems to gather the popularity info by accepting pre-register requests. Is there any policy to ban this behavior? Shouldn't the TLD be publicly opened?

technically its their property and theirs to do with as they please. though i disagree with the behavior.

nothing is stopping you from reselling *.whatever.com and so forth.

i wish i had my whole name as a domain, thats pretty awesome for you!
