thanks for trying, fwiw it made a beautiful domain for java source code back in the day. i hope you can do a long form retrospective on the .name story someday
do you think there's any point in contacting ICANN or Verisign? i'd be sad to lose mine!
it's wild how long some third level domains are still pre-registered for and how little an email forward must cost to run (at the sub-registrar level?)
