Domains will save from auctions
A curious precedent: the domain owner was able to prove that he did not have time to extend the expensive domain due to an “unintentional error”.
The most common reason for losing a domain name is human forgetfulness. It is necessary for the domain owner to miss the payment term, and the domain goes to enterprising resellers who break a considerable price for it.
However, the situation may change soon. Forgetful domain name owners will be able to withdraw a domain from the auction if they give you good reasons to justify their sclerosis.
The first precedent seems to have already been created in the COM domain.

On January 11, 2013, the domain name Publication.com, the registration term of which has expired, was put up for auction. There was an uproar around this domain: more than 170 bidders were willing to pay more than $ 3,000 for such an excellent domain, and the maximum bid could exceed one million dollars.
Contrary to all the rules, the auction was unexpectedly interrupted, and the domain name rights returned to the forgetful owner. According to the rules of the GoDaddy domain registrar, domain names are put up for auction that have not been renewed within 25 days after the registration deadline expires. 25 days is given to the domain owner to be cured of "sclerosis", after that it is no longer possible to renew the domain name registration.
As it turned out later, the registration of Publication.com was extended by a court decision. It states that Blake Ellman, who registered Publication.com in 1995, did not renew his registration “as a result of an unintended error.”
“Many users are really very frivolous about the renewal of domains,” commented Sergey Sharikov, director of the Russian domain registrar WebNames.ru. - Forgetfulness in the RU domain costs hundreds and thousands of dollars, in the COM domain it is even more expensive. Probably, the situation with Publication.com is an exception to the rule. Otherwise, many domain owners will want to defend their forgetfulness in court. ”
