Charging 20 cents for dropped names is not going to get rid of the big players in the domain tasting and domain kiting game. This just puts out the message that it's ok to do domain tasting and kiting as long as ICANN also profits from the practice. Elimination of the grace period is the answer to domain tasting and kiting. It is very simple to understand for most of us and I find it hard to believe claims by ICANN staff and board members that they don't get it. When a user subscribes to an ezine or joins a forum, they fill out a form. Then they get an email asking them to confirm that they indeed want to join or subscribe. It's called double opt-in. Domain names can be registered the same exact way. You fill out the forms to register your domain name. You get an email that asks, "Are you sure you want to register this domain name?". It adds, please check your spelling and everything because by clicking this link you agree that you are registering the domain name at a cost of $xx and that there are no refunds. That allows for any mistakes someone made when filling out the registration form. It's simple enough for anyone to understand. It gives the registrant a chance to change their mind satisfying buyer's remorse. Show me any policy that allows five days for buyer's remorse on an item that usually, with the exception of a couple of registrars, costs around $10. In addition to that, for every one domain name that is legitimately dropped during the grace period, there are 100,000 dropped by domain kiters and domain tasters. The grace period only serves those in the business of domain tasting and domain kiting. Pretense that there are other reasons to allow a five day grace period is just nonsense.
