It is good to see some constructive discussion regarding these issue.  The
mailing list is performing as a sounding board to gauge reaction to proposals
and that is great.

Personally I consider the only real way to combat cybersquatting is to take
away the incentive and that means making sure transfers have a restriction on
the price paid by the recepient to have the transfer completed with penalaties
attached if notification/evidence is provided to show this was attempted to be
circumvented.  I agree the proposal for making transfers easier but with the
same eligibility controls sounds reasonable.

I will look forward to seeing the submission that goes up with the proposals
for change to the policy and the final outcomes.

With a bit of effort I'm sure the majority of players can be satisfied.
