Registry Operator website: http://www.pir.org/
Data available here is extracted from ICANN monthly registries reports available on http://www.icann.org/tlds/monthly-reports/. These reports are published 3 months after their creation, but contain full information coming straight from the registries, instead of being an extrapolation done from a statistical sample extracted from zonefiles updated daily as it is done in most of the other studies.
Go back to registry operator PIR or the list of ICANN registries or go to details on ICANN accredited registrars.

You can find below 3 tables with .ORG registrars ordered by their number of deletes done,
first during the last known month, then during the last 12 months, and finally over all registry data.
A high number of deletes, especially compared to the number of domain names handled, probably shows
that the registrar in question participates in « domain tasting » efforts, meaning that it registers
domain names and delete them before 5 days (a delay long enough to gauge the domain name popularity),
so that the registry will not bill the registrar for this operation.
