This is great business ethics. Even if the names are not renewed by the current owners. Afilias publicly admitted their mistake and immediately corrected it. This is the way smart business should be done, if a mistake occurs that may have reprocussions in an industry. For those who won the expired domains, I am sure they understand.

Would be nice if we saw more of this. Such as Tucows auctions they listed and sold, then pulled back.
