Home 29 Jan 2008 Domain tasting to go away for real this time. ICANN At last week's meeting, the ICANN board uncharacteristially did something and voted to make their fee of 20 cents per domain-year nonrefundable. They expect this to stop both domain tasting and NSI's frontrunning, which it certainly will. It's not clear when this change will go into effect, but it might be within a month. It's items 5 and 6 in the draft minutes on ICANN's web site. (The ICANN staff uncharacteristically published the minutes soon after the meeting, another refreshing change.) I wonder if Google will now undo their new rule about no ads on domains less than five days old. posted at: 12:29 :: permanent link to this entry :: 2 comments Trackback link is http://jl.ly/ICANN/notaste.trackback
