Hello Robin, There is a lively debate underway on the General Assembly discussion list regarding an option that has previously been raised by many in the public realm --the complete elimination of the Add Grace Period. As you are aware, the GNSO team that put forward the current motion did not publicly discuss, debate or otherwise consider this particular option in their mailing list discussions. You will also recall that the Report of the Ad Hoc Group on Domain Tasting stated: "A change to the status quo in the AGP, including the potential elimination of the AGP, is considered as one of the potential remedies to domain tasting." As I am of the view that all options (and their respective pros and cons) should be evaluated prior to arriving at a formal constituency statement, I would ask you to delay ratification of the NCUC Statement until such time as the debate on this topic has properly run its course. best wishes, Danny ____________________________________________________________________________________ You rock.
