Dominik and all, Domain Name tasting is still with us, and given the non-solution that did NOT enjoy the consensus of the NARALO or the ALAC it shall reamin a problem. Elimination of the AGP would definately have solved the problem IF proper oversight by the registrars was done in addition to oversight by the ICANN staff and insistance of DOC/NTIA of that oversight. But as any reasonably intelegant person whom understands Domain Name Tasting and front running, nither ICANN nor the Registrars want Domain Name Tasting to go away entirely as the loss in fees for such registrations of Domain Names would be lost as well. Lets face it, this is yet again a lack of responsible leadership problem and originally created by the ICANN bod and the GNSO council with being short sighted in crafting the RAA contracts years ago, even though at the time this issue, than unnamed was articulated. -----Original Message-----

...

There are voices here who say ALAC was too compromising on tasting even _with_ the pressure from NARALO to get rid of the AGP. Imagine what the position would have been had the voice of NARALO been further diminished.

I am afraid, the position would be almost the same. The final tasting proposal was almost completely taken from Jeff Neumans's .BIZ registry vision just decorated with some cosmetics. The ALAC in fact seconded it unanimously and did not append any remarkable input. Despite all the valuable effort coming from the NARALO community.
