I have a domain registered under my real name and personal email address. Coming away from the article, my understanding is that my domain is liable to sniping if I step away from the Internet for more than two weeks (e.g., I go on a trek into the jungle somewhere) and don't take steps to have a friend or colleague keep tabs on the issue. This seems like a straightforward and obviously undesirable scenario; I wonder what came up in the ICANN consultation when it was discussed.
- Rifu 11y agoI believe the two week timer only starts if you initiate a domain transfer, modify your domain's WHOIS info, or have a renewal notice bounce. 2/3 of this are forces that are within your control, so you can at least plan around that.
- RobAley 11y agoFurther, I beleive that if it does happen, your domain is just suspended, i.e. set to not resolve, and isn't available for anyone else to register/snipe.
