I have always argued against the policy, anyone determined enough will
get around it. the current policies are better then the old ones, the
original ones caused a lot of friction with registrants.

same with the embargo on resale, the current policy cant stop it. if its
intention is to prevent cybersquating then a cybersquating policy should
be in place along with education and a questionaire at every attempted
transfer to ensure a transfer isnt occuring due to a hijacking.

you can resell number plates, phone numbers why not domains?
