Jacque and all, It would seem reasonable that everyone will know or not, how or even if, the proposed measures are working within days of its implimentation. I don't understand why it has now taken this long to impliment the proposed measures anyway, re Front-Running. So not to be disagreeable, but 3 or six months hold and than a review is far to long and too late if the proposed measures aren't working, IMO. This said, it would likely take ICANN and it's registrars at least 3 months to formulate and/or impliment a far more effective set of measures if the proposed measures are less than adquately effective. In any event stronger measures are necessary in accordance with our, INEGroups proposed method if Front-Running is to be fully delt with as Front-Running is a direct violation of Restraint of Trade statutes we believe, and as such any registrar enguaging in such practices however ordained or approved such practices have been by ICANN and any proposed measures to address same that do not fully address Front-Running however well intentioned, will at some point be viewed in that light in a legal proceedure. -----Original Message-----

Holding until we see IF and HOW the proposed measures affect the environment makes sense. There MAY be no more frontrunning problem after the implementation of these measures. I'd suggest that we ask for a 3 or 6 month hold and then a review to evaluate the success or not of the measures and then decide to go forward or not on additional activities re front running Jacqueline Alan Greenberg wrote:

The GNSO is discussing putting the Front Running issue on hold pending the Board's decision on the limitation of use of the AGP (and the 20 cent Registrar fee waiver).

I have been asked for thoughts on whether there is an ALAC/At-Large perception that the GNSO should go full speed ahead on the front running issue regardless of the changing AGP environment (recognizing that work put into this impact progress on possibly more crucial issues).
