7. Potential means to address the practice of domain tasting have been suggested. Do you have any other suggestions in addition to A-C below?

Potential means to address the practice of domain tasting:

A) eliminating the AGP so that domain registration fees are non-refundable between registry and registrar;

B) making the ICANN annual transaction fee (currently 0.20 USD per year) apply to names deleted during the AGP, or to a significant portion of them;

C) imposing registry ‘excess deletion fees’ charged to registrars for disproportionate deletes (for example in .org, PIR registry charges 0.05 USD per deleted domain if more than 90% of domains are deleted in a given time period).

Please respond to the following questions from the perspective of your own category (as defined by the very first question). Your responses on how other categories may be affected would be welcome.
