Ah, now I perhaps see the incentive...
The 10% AGP deletion cap proposed in both proposals once approved becomes a
"precedent" how to proceed with other registries, which will logically lead to
'solve' the Domain Tasting issue in the same way. Much like the .com registry
agreement and the subsequent .info, .org, .biz approvals.
Very smart strategy... but still transparent ;-)

ICANN Opens Comment Period on Proposed Add Grace Period Modifications for
NeuStar and Afilias
27 February 2008
ICANN is today opening public comment periods on requests submitted by NeuStar,
the .BIZ registry, and Afilias, the .INFO registry, to modify terms regarding
the add grace period (AGP) in their respective registry agreements.
On 5 February 2008, NeuStar and Afilias submitted separate but similar requests
through the Registry Services Evaluation Process to modify the AGP in their
respective TLDs in order "to address the excessive delete problem" (i.e. domain
tasting) in .BIZ and .INFO. Currently there are no limitations on the number of
deletions that a registrar can process and receive a refund during the five-day
AGP. The proposed service would limit the number of AGP deletions where a
registrar could receive a full registration fee credit each month: either 50
per month or 10% of that registrar's net new monthly domain name registrations,
whichever is greater. A registrar would be permitted to delete as many names as
it wished during the five-day AGP, receiving credit throughout the month.
However, at the end of the .BIZ or .INFO normal monthly billing cycle the
Registrar's account would be debited for the full value of the domain name
registrations that exceeded the month's set threshold.
As provided for by existing consensus policy
(http://www.icann.org/registries/rsep/rsep.html), ICANN has undertaken a
preliminary determination to determine whether the proposed modifications might
raise significant security or stability, or competition issues. ICANN's
determination is that the proposed modifications by NeuStar and Afilias do not
raise such issues.
The next step in evaluation is that (because implementation of the proposals
would require changes to the .BIZ and .INFO Registry
Agreements) ICANN will post the proposed amendments, solicit public comment and
refer the proposals to the ICANN Board for consideration.
A copy of the proposed NeuStar amendment is available here [PDF, 25K], and a
copy of the proposed Afilias amendment is available here [PDF, 25K]. Both
amendments provide for changes to Appendix 7, Section 3.1.1.
Comments on the NeuStar amendment submitted to neustar-agp-proposal@xxxxxxxxx
will be considered until 23:59 UTC 28 March 2008 and may be viewed at
http://forum.icann.org/lists/neustar-agp-proposal/. Comments on the Afilias
amendment submitted to afilias-agp-proposal@xxxxxxxxx will be considered until
23:59 UTC 28 March 2008 and may be viewed at
http://forum.icann.org/lists/afilias-agp-proposal/. Please keep in mind that
these are separate proposals with separate public comment forums.
All documentation regarding the NeuStar proposal is available at
http://www.icann.org/registries/rsep/submitted_app.html#2008001, while
documentation on the Afilias proposal is available at
