The code of conduct (which requires mandatory adherence by registrars) reads: 4.3 Domain Name Suppliers must not register or renew domain names (in advance of a request from an eligible registrant) that are for the purpose of restricting a competitor from registering the domain name on behalf of the registrant, or for the purpose of later offering this domain name to potential licensees. Examples of unacceptable conduct: (1) Anticipating a consumer's preference for a domain name (via examining consumer activity on a website, or by reference to other databases such as company name databases), registering that domain name using the consumer’s details, and then offering the domain name to the consumer for a fee or in conjunction with a bundled offering. This practice restricts the consumer's choice of Domain Name Supplier, and may lock the consumer into service conditions (such as the need to host a website with the Domain Name Supplier). This example is sometimes called front-running. Before I say something that is potentially wrong, I will give Nick the opportunity to inform us how this is not what Bottle is doing. kimReceived on Fri Oct 03 2003 - 00:00:00 UTC
