<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans 
MS'">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.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans 
MS'">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.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans 
MS'">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.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans 
MS'">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. 
</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans 
MS'">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.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
