Motion to end Domain Tasting
As an update to an earlier post regarding domain name tasting, ICANN’s GNSO Council invites public comments and constituency impact statements regarding its draft proposal to curb domain tasting. Under the proposal, any gTLD operator that has implemented an add grace period (“AGP”) would be prohibited from offering a refund for any domain name deleted during the AGP that exceeds 10% of its net new registrations for a month, or 50 domain names, whichever is greater. The proposal also provides that an operator may seek an exemption for a particular month, upon documented showing of extraordinary circumstances. As well, the draft proposal states that ICANN staff will monitor implementation and execution of the recommendations. (For more information about domain tasting, see the GNSO Initial Report.)
The period for public comment closes March 28, 2008 and the GNSO Council will incorporate such comments into a further draft motion for the Council’s April 17, 2008 meeting.
