Re: [ga] Call for Elimination of AGP

So do I. I think I hear a consensus stampeding toward us. Of course this is 
just a bottom up consensus which ICANN has repeatedly ignored in the past.

  I have yet to hear of a valid reason for domain tasting. Karl is correct. 
There should not be any refunds for domain
  registrations at all for people who are repeat offenders. There isn't any 
place for this nonsense as
  it takes up valuable resources that no one gets paid for. 

  I support the call for elimination of the AGP as well.

           I heartily second the "call for Elimination of AGP" as posted by 
Dominik Filipp and for reasons explained on the GA list in  the past week and 
for reasons not yet even enumerated. No one has yet spotlighted even one PROPER 
use of the domain tasting by a major corporation in market study and the 
arguments for protection of registrars from credit card fraud and the like are 
no more compelling that ANY internet sales related company's difficulty. 
Registrars who can not handle the business should drop out of it, as in any 
other industry. What makes them special?
