But in this case, the registrars would certainly heavily promote a system to prevent the domain expiration by suggesting the domain owner to sell instead of letting expire. Thus, the registrar are certainly in a strong position.

You lose it. It's as simple as that --- the registrar can do whatever they want without breaking any rules. They are the ones in control and can do as they please. Sure it may be an ethical issue or whatever but who cares about morals. The domain industry was never big on ethics. It is a big time negative score in that department. Business is business. They will tap into all avenues in hopes of generating a few bucks here and there. All the best, Mike You don’t pay.. You lose it.

I think this was because NetSol changed the contract after the domain was originally registered, so it felt like it needed to offer some sort of compensation. @ Labrocca – when Network Solutions began “direct transferring” their names, they paid a small amount (15%) to the domain owner.
