SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FACILITATING DISTRIBUTION OF LIMITED RESOURCES HAVING AN ADD GRACE PERIOD
A method for distributing a domain name to one of a plurality of registrars, in communication with a drop zone server, the method executing stored instructions by a computer processor to: recognize a delete command of the domain name; determine if the delete command is inside or outside of an Add Grace Period (AGP), the AGP defined as a period of time post registration of the domain name by a registrar; if the delete command is inside of the AGP, then send the domain name to the drop zone server in a path that bypasses a delete queue for subsequent purchase by said one of the plurality of registrars; or if the delete command is outside of the AGP, then send the domain to the delete queue.
1 . A server for distributing a domain name to one of a plurality of registrars, the server in communication with a drop zone server, the server having stored instructions for execution by a computer processor to:
recognize a delete command of the domain name;
determine if the delete command is inside or outside of an Add Grace Period (AGP), the AGP defined as a period of time post registration of the domain name by a registrar;
if the delete command is inside of the AGP, then send the domain name to the drop zone server in a path that bypasses a delete queue for subsequent purchase by said one of the plurality of registrars; or
if the delete command is outside of the AGP, then send the domain to the delete queue.
2 . The server of claim 1 , wherein a time stamp ID of the delete command is compared to a create time ID of the domain name in order to implement said determine.
3 . The server of claim 1 , wherein the AGP has a start point and an end point, the end point being before a defined expiry data of the domain name, the start point being associated with a create time ID of the domain name.
4 . The server of claim 1 further comprising generating a publication to include the domain name as available for an upcoming drop zone session and sending the publication to the plurality of registrars.
5 . The server of claim 1 further comprising identifying the domain name at an end of the delete queue and sending the domain name to the drop zone server.
6 . The server of claim 1 , wherein the delete command is one of a plurality of different types of delete commands.
7 . The server of claim 6 , wherein the delete command is a pre AGP delete command or a post AGP delete command.
8 . The server of claim 1 , wherein the delete command is generated by the registrar.
9 . The server of claim 1 , wherein the delete command is generated by the server.
10 . The server of claim 1 , wherein the path is one of a pair of paths for sending the domain name to the drop zone server.
11 . A method for distributing a domain name to one of a plurality of registrars, in communication with a drop zone server, the method executing stored instructions by a computer processor to:
recognize a delete command of the domain name;
determine if the delete command is inside or outside of an Add Grace Period (AGP), the AGP defined as a period of time post registration of the domain name by a registrar;
if the delete command is inside of the AGP, then send the domain name to the drop zone server in a path that bypasses a delete queue for subsequent purchase by said one of the plurality of registrars; or
if the delete command is outside of the AGP, then send the domain to the delete queue.
12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein a time stamp ID of the delete command is compared to a create time ID of the domain name in order to implement said determine.
13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the AGP has a start point and an end point, the end point being before a defined expiry data of the domain name, the start point being associated with a create time ID of the domain name.
14 . The method of claim 11 further comprising generating a publication to include the domain name as available for an upcoming drop zone session and sending the publication to the plurality of registrars.
15 . The method of claim 11 further comprising identifying the domain name at an end of the delete queue and sending the domain name to the drop zone server.
16 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the delete command is one of a plurality of different types of delete commands.
17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the delete command is a pre AGP delete command or a post AGP delete command.
18 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the delete command is generated by the registrar.
19 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the delete command is generated by a server other than the registrar.
20 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the path is one of a pair of paths for sending the domain name to the drop zone server.
