> NeuStar just submitted the following funnel request to ICANN  
> regarding modification of the Add-Grace Period.  We believe that  
> Afilias will submit a substantially similar proposal for .info in  
> the next day or so and we have worked closely with them on this  
> proposal.  We believe that this will effectively end domain name  
> tasting in .biz and .info.

> Here is the opening paragraph:
>
> Technical Description of the Proposed Service: Currently there are  
> no limitations on the number of deletions that a registrar can  
> process during the five-day AGP. The proposed service would limit  
> the number of AGP deletions where a registrar could receive a full  
> registration fee credit. This limit would be determined each month,  
> with a maximum of 50 per month or 10% of that registrar’s net new  
> monthly domain name registrations, whichever is greater. There would  
> be no change to the current registry interface.  A registrar would  
> be permitted to delete as many names as it wished during the five- 
> day AGP, receiving credit throughout the month. However, at the end  
> of the NeuStar’s normal monthly billing cycle the Registrar’s  
> account would be debited for the full value of the domain name  
> registrations that exceeded the month’s set threshold.
>
> Please let me know if you have any questions and feel free to post.
