From a consumer/end-user perspective (not necessarily a registrant perspective), the issues of concern are: typo- and cyber-squatting, Internet clutter from parked pages and possible misinformation contained on those pages, and potential harm resulting from misinformation. Arguments on behalf of registrants specifically have already been made by Danny and others, and so, altogether: My organization supports elimination of the AGP, and we encourage ALAC to make a statement accordingly to ICANN on behalf of users.
