[ALAC] [At-Large] ICANN Announcement on Domain Tasting

[Alan Greenberg]

The report gives credit to the GNSO for developing the policy, which 
is correct as the GNSO voted to initiate a policy development 
process, formed a working group (with At-Large participation), and 
ultimately approved the resultant policy and recommended that the 
Board support it. All of that was driven off of an Issues Report 
investigating Domain tasting and that Issues Report was created at 
the request of the ALAC. Domain tasting was an issue that had been 
discussed for quite some time within ICANN, but the ALAC was the 
group that forced the question and started to formal process to 
address Domain Tasting.

But once that process was initiated by the ALAC, there was a lot of 
work, both official and unofficial done by a lot of parties to create 
the end result. And is should be noted that despite the negative 
comments raised in this thread about registries, several registries 
played a large and crucial role in creating the end result.
