From the panel on Sunday night, the idea came up that one way to
change the tasting economic model was to charge the transaction fee (the PIR
model) so that it isn’t totally free. $0.22 is a small fee that is
already charged, but not on AGP adds. But if I were registering millions
of names, that would be a chunk of change that might cause me to reconsider the
economic viability of registering millions of names.
This was one of the non-PDP options in the issues report.
Alan suggested it at one of the SJ ALAC meetings, and it was agreed that he
draft it for quick comment and some comments were received, and he sent it. The
Chair isn’t the only person who can send emails. J
Of course the registries can simply end the AGP as well, but
there were some examples brought up in discussion at the panel of the AGP
being actually useful and used by registrants.
The registrar/registrant working group is open, and it would be
great if people interested in this issue joined the group.

Subject: Re: [NA-Discuss] Budget provisions relating to Domain Tasting
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.

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.
