According to the author, it states that the AGP refund mechanism was introduced in 2002. The problem is that that is not true and is off by several years. The AGP was actually introduced by Network Solutions or VeriSign (I can't remember who was in charge at the time) probably as early as 1999, but in any event was was codified at least as early as May 2001 for .com/.net/.org, .biz and .info. See http://www.icann.org/tlds/agreements/biz/registry-agmt-appc-10-11may01.htm for an example. The Article refers to 2002 and references the Redemption Grace Period. As you know the RGP is something that is completely different and should not be confused at all with the current debate. The RGP is a process by which a domain name registrant can reclaim a domain name that was inadvertently deleted. Normally I would not point these things out, but I do not want to leave the community with the impression that the tasting problem was created as a result of the RGP adoption process (a process that I still believe was one of the best examples of ICANN policy making at its best).
