Comments
A minor clarification...
It is so very important that sessions like this happen, because it really helps with educating people on many of the complex topics within our industry. I commend the ALAC and ICANN for continuing in the tradition of holding workshops.
I do have a minor clarification... As the agenda got listed (and as I was only today presented it) it appears that I was listed as making the case as a proponent of domain tasting.
This is not the case. While I personally am not as opposed to the practice as my fellow panellists, quite frankly, the position that I persobally have always held is neutral, neither for nor against the practice, and I have participated in presenting facts and statistics at previous workshops.
The session agenda will be being revised over the next few days to reflect that I personally am participating constructively in the panel to describe the best practices and marketplace self regulation efforts that are currently underway by thought leaders and companies that are working to reduce pain points.
I am participating in the tutorial to update on the progress made within the marketplace with self regulation and best practices relating to volume AGP activity, and to describe the various types of domain tasting that exist to help untangle the matter towards solution.
I am very grateful to participate because there are many people that I deeply respect who are working through the ICANN process to improve our industry, and this is a panel consisting of people who have put a lot of effort towards improving how the internet works for the public.
