RE: [gnso-dt-wg] Why Domain Tasting is Great!

[<ricardo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Bob:

my 2 cents...

For your information, in Brazil, registrants are protected by law and can
replace/cancel their domain name registration until 7 days (Yes ! AGP plus 2
days...) after the order.

When a registrant ask to replace/cancel their domain name after the AGP and
within this 7 days, we lost money...

So, without the AGP the situation could be worse !

Best,

Bob,

Thanks for the post.  I'd like to be able to get a
better understanding of the scope of "fine tuning" and
"fraudulent credit card usage" issues.  I guess my
question comes down to this... if the AGP did not
exist, could the expenses associated with such "fine
tuning" and credit card matters incurred by registrars
reasonably fall under the umbrella of a business's
expected risk?  Or are the degree of such expenses far
beyond the normal risk considerations that any other
business would experience?  In other words, does some
form of the AGP need to be preserved in order to
protect registrars, or can they somehow manage without
it (perhaps on an out-of-band basis with individual
registries to deal with one-off situations)?
