What is drop catching?

I’ve talked to many people who think that drop catching is a practice in which people buy domains to sell them back to the previous owner. This might have been part of the business many years ago, but ICANN put into place notification requirements that make it extremely unlikely that a domain expires without the owner’s knowledge. This includes required notifications and a change to the nameservers well before a domain goes through the full expiration cycle. If the person is using the domain for an active website, that website will go dark, alerting them to the expiration. In all of my years investing in domains, I can count on one hand the number of former owners who inquired about a domain I acquired in the drop.
