[NA-Discuss] [At-Large] Budget provisions relating to Domain Tasting

[Danny Younger]

Alan,

The tasting phenomenon became manifest in February of
2005 when we saw the delete figures jump by one
million (although there was one earlier blip in the
figures in August of 2003 when Yesnic dropped 628,000
names in a single month).  Prior to February 2005, the
average ratio of deletes to active registrations
floated at around 2% (normal attrition?) -- currently
this ratio is at 79.9%

The table below should be of help to those getting
acquainted with the subject -- source is the ICANN
monthly registry reports:
