See the aforementioned "restock fees" presented to ICANN. How much of a disincentive would they be?

Not much, I would think. http://www.icann.org/minutes/resolutions-22nov06.htm Unless you have a more explicit pointer, a quick check at ICANN reveals that the "restock fee" proposed in November 2000 applies to PIR and the .ORG TLD. And even if it applied to all (non-ccTLD) domains across the board, it probably wouldn't stop the abuse that we are seeing with bulk registrations, tasting, abuse, etc. - - ferg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Desktop 9.6.0 (Build 214) wj8DBQFGEcSxq1pz9mNUZTMRAnmDAJwNhX1NRADNzvqoWbXp6Yt3at81UACg87Pw 0MFaN0+owW878PmA7bRx9ZI= =5VZI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
