> you can only deliberately lose the domain

Or your can be me. For some convoluted reasons I had the contract email set to my company mail and the domain was paid for 10 years. I left the company in May and in September the registrar started to send reminders which were of course bounced.

Then around Christmas I realized something is wrong, tried to get the domain back but it was too late.

This was an unfortunate set of circumstances, all my fault, but "deliberate" is a bit too masochist :)

I would like to first sympathize with you. That is a crappy situation to be in.

I also agree, "deliberate" is a bit too strongly worded.

So in order to lose the domain, there is just a very few modes of failure that has a 3rd party factor. In most case, the domain-owning entity is accountable for losing the access.

I was joking about this "deliberate" part - it was all my fault and a web of small mistakes/procrastination that led to that.
