Network Solutions wants ICANN to End Front Running

The fee will only apply when domain names are deleted excessively, a signal that they are being "tasted" by speculators. We at Network Solutions strongly encourage ICANN to enact this important provision as part of its budget and we have released a statement to that effect today, Domain "tasting" occurs when parties register a domain name and place pay-per-click ads on the domain's Web page to determine if the name is worth more than its registration cost; if it is not, the taster simply deletes the name during the allowed five-day grace period and receives a full refund Read the full story here http://tinyurl.com/63yaox"
