As per DomainRecap @DomainRecap this week should be a better one. I haven't had the chance to look at it very closely. The Prophet has spoken and let's see how it goes. For now I see the folowing at WHC:

Damn, this is going to be one ugly week for us, but a very good week for MyID, WHC et al.

Quite a nice few months to be a registrar with all the Restricted Domains being released and I bet Danny Hunter is, or soon will be, driving a new car.
 
I seriously had to LOL at some of the TBR domains being ordered this week.

I wonder who is dropping so many premium LLL.ca's? just a bunch of random people, or a domainer who's given up on them...

Most of them are released by CIRA, which they have held over the years for various reasons. It's not one person dropping them all. Hope it helps.

yeah, they are mostly old {something}.{prov}.ca domains where the last provincial extension expired but CIRA was never releasing the corresponding LLL.ca.

I can't remember if I fully spilled the beans on this, but after the fiasco last year where I registering well over 1000 of those domains in 24 hours. when CIRA accidentally released them (and subsequently took them all back). I told them this whole mess was their fault for not releasing them properly in the first place, and that there should be a policy in place on how to release them and to actually do it. So I think richard.schreier @richard.schreier took it upon himself to coordinate cleaning up that mess - which they did, and thus we have this special release. Going forward, I'm assuming CIRA has it fixed to properly release these domains each week as their provincial extensions expire rather than hoarding them again.

And there was another member here who also registered at least 100+ of super premium domains too during that accidental release - if he wants to fess up. I think we were the first two people to really notice. But I had been spending a decade or more collecting a list of these domains, so when it they all released at once, I spent the next 24 hours straight going through my lists and registering all kinds of incredible stuff - at reg costs.

I spent a decade+ waiting for that day to happen - it sucked to have it all taken away!

Eby @Eby rlm @rlm domains @domains Between Jan 4 and Mar 22, each weekly TBR is supplemented with about 175 names that are being released from the block list. If you go back to that published list you'll see that next week (Feb 8) there are 13 LLLs (out of a total of 27 LLLs available in that TBR, the 9 in the following week all come from the blocked release ) that come from the block list.

And yes, on a going forward basis, names that free up should be added to the TBR automatically each week.

What happens (or what would happen) if a domain is taken away from a registrant who is found to not meet Canadian presence requirements? Or if a domain is taken away from a registrant for some other reason? In that case, would the domain become instantly available, or would it go in the next TBR?

They just drop. instantly available, no TBR.

I don't think so. I would expect that to be part of the TBR list. Would love to have a confirmation from Richard on this also.

Names subject to RIV where the registrant is found to be con-confirming to our VPOR requirements, are immediately made available for registration without going to TBR.
