Jothan,
 
This is a great summary.  I would like to add another use of the AGP:
 
I'll call this "Buyer's Remorse"
 
We do a lot of business in the domains where the price tag typically exceeds $100 per name.  The typical order can contain several names, increasing the price tag to over $1000.
 
As a general policy, we accept order cancellations within the AGP.  In fact, we prefer it to the alternative of an unhappy customer who is may feel inclined to pursue a charge-back.  The customer is relieved and more likely to be more prudent the next time around.
 
The AGP is one of the few pro-consumer ICANN policies that exists.  It should stay in place.
 
best regards,
 
Tom Barrett
EnCirca

Subject: [registrars] Collected Uses of AGP unrelated to Tasting/Kiting

My Fellow registrars-

 

In following up on my email on September 14th to this list, I have received many uses of AGP, which distilled down to four uses.  The attached document was submitted which will be incorporated into the outcomes report of the ad-hoc domain tasting working group (DTWG).

 

The attached represents the collection and normalization of AGP uses that were submitted to me by phone, conversations at industry events, or by email.

 

It has already been submitted to the DTWG, but they’d asked if we’d voted on it, or vetted it for comment.

 

At  this point, if anyone has an issue with the four uses as presented or if there is any supporting information, if they’d email me directly or to the list, I’ll work to collect this and redistribute it to the DTWG.

 

Comments, clarifications?  Are there any issues where the registrar you represent disagrees with the findings?

 

-Jothan
