Domain tasting and add grace period abuse
Well i couldn't make it to Lisbon today... :-(
But would like to share my 2 cents on this
I'm really not against domain tasting de per se.
What really annoys me is the abuse some regsitrars make of their status. I thinks it's quite clear that some have just been created for the sole purpose of speculation on domain name trade. By using their registrar staus they are doing their dirty tricks for free.
Since the original idea behind AGP was to allow for correction of errors i can't see why should a regsitrar be allowed to register and then delete hundreds of thousands of names. All for FREE! Would they keep on with this kind of behavioir if they have to pay fees to delete the domains?
On the other hand since this was created to correct mistakes deletion should only be allowed if it was to be "traded" by the regsitration of a new name.
