IEDR Releases deleted list

The IEDR have released a list of some of their deleted domains to the public. The list, which can be seen here, is broken into two sections:

• General domains (aka generic)
• 3 letter

Although the list only includes a selection of the 8500 odd domains that have been deleted in the last 2 years, it is still a very interesting resource for anybody interested in the domain name business. It will be interesting to see how long it takes people to "snap up" some of the more "useful" ones. Sources close to the registry have indicated, however, that they will be paying particular attention to the documentary requirements for any of these registrations.
