RE: [ga] domain tasting comments

["Dominik Filipp" <dominik.filipp@xxxxxxxx>]

Jeff,

No, my thought does not at all imply all registrars/registries are
frauds. It implies that a system loophole that allows for abuse and is
clearly identified should be eliminated and not replaced with norms that
inherently can never be as effective as systemic amendment.
In case of tasting the situation when just few dishonest registrars
getting away with continuing and profiting from the practice can lead to
loss of overall trust towards registrars and the registration process
itself. What is even much worse is that domain tasting, if not
definitely stopped, brings acceptable precedent disadvantaging honest
registrars in seeking additional revenue from it. As a consequence, the
honest registrars might feel offended by not participating on dishonest
practice. Do you see that dangerous paradox?

  This response of yours is assuming that all registrars and/or
registries as well as registrants are frauds.  That is certainly NOT the
case.  Ergo, oversight need not be verbose as you seem to suggest.  We
should not act our of fear of paranoia, but rather out of simple logic
and known historic experiance.
