If ICM are using a system like this to revolk domain ownership for good domains they forgot to reserve, what is to stop them from just taking your domain away from you a few years down the line?

Doubt mine will be approved then since one is a well know 3 letter domain and the other is a great 4 letter domain.

That really is a scandalous system they have setup
You should have first received an email that was the normal domain receipt. Then they sent an email saying you were awarded the domains.

Then if they take them away, you get another email saying that there was an error and you no longer have the domains. Sorry.

I'm happy this happened early on. I will not be building a large site on .XXX. This was a lesson learned.

I'm sure there are 1000s they are taking back right now.

Let me finish disputing all of this with Directnic and ICANN. Once I'm totally defeated, I will list them if you would like.
