[registrars] ALAC Request for Issues Report on Domain Tasting

[John Berryhill]

>I'm confused... was that a for or against?

Precisely.  The document appears at odds with itself.

The issues report suggests that domain tasting consists of domain names that
nobody should register.  The report also suggests that tasting prevents
non-tasters from registering the domain names that nobody should register.

The conclusion appears to be that it is much better to have thousands of
individuals engaged in typosquatting and other abuses using hundreds of
different registrars, than it is to have a handful of individuals doing
these things through just a few registrars.

The cybersquatting field would apparently benefit from greater competition
and diversity among cybersquatters, according to the report.

If we can eliminate these abuses, then Mozilla can greatly increase its
revenue, currently estimated at $72M, for including Google search as the
default response for non-existing domains.  It won't change the user
experience for the average user, but Firefox is indeed a great browser.
