Attached is a paper that was created by the Domain Name System Policy  
Working Group of the Anti-Phishing Working Group.  This compilation of  
this paper was initiated because of the formation of your group - the  
DNSPWG wanted to determine whether or not phishers use domain tasting.

In general, the conclusions are that phishers do not use domain  
tasting but domain tasting does negatively impact the anti-phishing  
organizations due to increased infrastructure needs for monitoring  
domain registrations.

If you have questions about this paper, don't hesitate to contact me.
