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).

From what I've read in the press, some forms of registrar front- running will stop when ICANN adopts its new AGP pricing policy. No reason to solve problems that may not exist anymore. Holding the working group seems like a good idea. Bret On Jun 21, 2008, at 8:12 AM, Alan Greenberg wrote:

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:

I think 3 month hold will be good. Of course, this does not exclude, in my understanding, changing the position IF something wrong still happens immediately. Then we can ask for quicker action as emergency or something like that. izumi 2008/6/22 Jacqueline A. Morris <jam@jacquelinemorris.com>:
