[NA-Discuss] Domain Tasting Issues

[Danny Younger]

The October 2006 Verisign monthly report indicates
that 34,017,562 gross deletes were processed during
the month in .com -- see
http://www.icann.org/tlds/monthly-reports/com-net/verisign-200610.pdf

This means that every single day over a million domain
names are kept out of the reach of the average
potential registrant as a result of the efforts of
professional speculators that are taking advantage of
ICANN's Add Grace policy loophole.  

There have been many calls to eliminate or seriously
revise this Add Grace period policy, yet the GNSO has
not taken this issue on board; neither has the ALAC
advanced this issue to the GNSO even after having
received a staff-prepared Issues report six months
ago.

(1) What is the NA ALS view on this issue?
(2) What is the NA ALS view on the way this issue has
been managed by the ALAC?  Can we trust the ALAC to
act in our best interest or even in a timely manner?
