http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-2-10aug07.htm Request for Information on Domain Tasting 10 August 2007

In view of the increase in domain tasting (definitions below), the GNSO Council recently considered an Issues Report on Domain Tasting and resolved to form an ad hoc group for further fact-finding on the effects of this practice. The ad hoc group has prepared these questions to assist in gathering facts and opinions, while inviting both qualitative and quantitative input. The group would especially appreciate statistical and other empirical evidence to support your responses, or references to potential sources of information.

To be considered by the group, information should be submitted no later than 15 September 2007 to rfi-domaintasting@icann.org.

Comments may be viewed at http://forum.icann.org/lists/rfi-domaintasting/. For further information, please see the FAQ annex [PDF, 25K].

Please take time to submit your comments.

Thank you. Kind regards

Glen
