The report gives credit to the GNSO for developing the policy, which is correct as the GNSO voted to initiate a policy development process, formed a working group (with At-Large participation), and ultimately approved the resultant policy and recommended that the Board support it. All of that was driven off of an Issues Report investigating Domain tasting and that Issues Report was created at the request of the ALAC. Domain tasting was an issue that had been discussed for quite some time within ICANN, but the ALAC was the group that forced the question and started to formal process to address Domain Tasting. But once that process was initiated by the ALAC, there was a lot of work, both official and unofficial done by a lot of parties to create the end result. And is should be noted that despite the negative comments raised in this thread about registries, several registries played a large and crucial role in creating the end result.

As a matter of fact the document thanks GNSO, not ALAC

Please see the announcement and report (<http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-12aug09-en.htm>http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-12aug09-en.htm)
ICANN posted today about the impact of the AGP Budget Provision and the AGP Limits Policy on Domain Tasting.
As the organization that started this entire policy process, At-Large and ALAC can be proud of the results.
