Fwd: [council] Revised Proposed GNSO Council motion on Domain Tasting

[Robin Gross]

Hello there,

While we didn't vote on this issue today, we will probably vote on  
this text or a similar version on the 28th at our next meeting.   It  
is my understanding the Registrars and the Registries will not  
support any policy to curtail DNT (based on discussions today in the  
mtg).

Another possibility is just to END it all together.  Permitting a %  
of deletions as below, was in part, meant as a compromise with Ry and  
Rr, and since they won't support what is below, no point passing a  
motion with a compromise when you don't get the support desired.    
Certainly registrars would not be prevented from giving refunds  
within a time-frame if they wanted to (i.e. let the market deal with  
legitimate needs for refunds as happens in other services).

I'm still very keen to hear what other NCUC'rs think about how to  
move forward with Tasting.

Thanks,
Robin
