The kiting/tasting issue can be resolved by getting rid of the AGP, this was a bad idea from the beginning. The handful of people who made it knew this would happen and did it anyway. For the record, I am opposed to the increasing price of domains. Not opposed to ICANN charging the fee for the deletions during the AGP. So, what ICANN is saying is that a 22cent domain will stop kiting and tasting?? That is ridiculous. This action needs to be adequately discussed.

As a registrant, when someone charges me more fees, that someone should be accountable and have some reason for doing such.
"The ALAC requests that ICANN consider charging registrars part or all of the $0.22 fee for names deleted during the AGP."
This is to get rid of domain kiting/tasting.
I happen to agree that it's a good idea, but I also agree that it hasn't been sufficiently debated to be presented as ALAC's position.
