<P>Karl and all,</P>
<P> </P>
<P> I am not going to speculate on what the drop percentage is, but</P>
<P>I suspect it varies somewhat. As I earlier outlined, the risk/cost
vs</P>
<P>reward will also very accordingly and on other factors. Needless to
</P>
<P>say, tasters wouldn't all be applying their errant trade for very</P>
<P>long unless there was a significant financial reward, either long</P>
<P>term or short term, and at least a ROI mid term. However the</P>
<P>real winners in Tasting are the registrars/registries. Even more</P>
<P>so with Front running/tasting such as has already been clearly</P>
<P>outlined in some significant detail by NSOL.</P>

<P><SPAN class=rvts7>> In general, you pay a fine of $2,851,200 just to
sample 18,000,000 domain names in a year and keep only the ones that barely pay
for themselves. That�s not good business sense anyway you look at
it. I would estimate a much higher drop rate such as 90+%.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN class=rvts7>> </SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN class=rvts7>> If ICANN would enact a penalty as such, that anything
over a nominal percentage is charged $0.20/drop would take care of this and
everyone else. The legit registrars are happy and the tasters/kiters will
go away. It�s not feasible for them to keep operating.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN class=rvts8><BR></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN class=rvts8>So you want to talk about numbers and feasibility instead
of right and wrong? OK...</SPAN></P>
<P> Let's say a scammer picks up 500 domains under
this tasting policy and sends out solicitations as we have described and
discussed to sell them at $295 per domain for people to "complete" their
registrations of the major TLDs' domains of their name. </P>
<P> Let's say that of these five hundred names that
are tied up and unavailable for consumers for a week (perhaps the one time they
will try for that name for some time to come, if they are not sufficiently
skeptical and aware of the effects of tasting), they successfully sell 2 of
them, but for less than advertised. </P>
<P> Let's say they settle for $500.00 for the two
registrations they sell and then return the other 498 domains at $0.20 each
penalty, or $99.60. This scammer just made a profit of $400.40 for one week of
free e-mails based on improper marketing of unregistered domains and I still
have no example of any corporation who has used this program as it was
intended.</P>
