I am pleased to report that at its meeting last Thursday, the GNSO passed a motion that will eliminate the massive usage of the Add Grace Period (AGP) that has enabled domain tasting. Alan, you deserve special credit for helping to move this through, and to help advance an outcome that accomplishes much of what was desired within At-Large. Given that ALAC requested the PDP, I guess it could be argued that this is the first instance of ICANN reacting positively to an At-Large initiative that might not have even been on its agenda otherwise. As such, perhaps this can be considered something of a milestone in the evolving maturity of ALAC.
