I am keeping an eye on decommissioned TLDs - https://twitter.com/fanf/status/1245512707459158020?s=21

Most of them are closed .brand TLDs owned by companies whose business isn’t DNS. The struggling open TLDs seem to be traded and collected by big registries that can get economies of scale, rather than closed, so there is a limited way out. I have seen at least one .brand TLD (.bond for Bond University) converted to an open TLD and sold to a big gTLD registry provider.

That's good to know, do you have all this in some other form than Tweets?

I can see that having them as Tweets is delicious if you participate because you can just RT them with context but I'm the sort of person who likes big piles of data to contemplate at once.
