One of the significant policies implemented by Google in 2008 is the introduction of '''domain kiting detection system''' to stop the domain name registration abuses by profiteers known as [[domain tasting]] and [[domain kiting]].The modus operandi of profiteers is taking advantage of the five-day '''Add Grace Period (AGP)''' for domain tasting by checking and calculating how much a particular domain generates revenue from ads while parked at a monetization page. On the other hand, in domain kiting a registrant deletes a newly registered domain name before the grace period end and immediately register it to reset the grace period to postpone the registration payment.<ref>[www.informationweek.com/news/205918984 informationweek.com]</ref>
Prior to Google's announcement regarding the issue, ICANN had been preparing a policy to deter the practices of domain tasting and domain kiting. Google's move prompted ICANN to conduct a debate in spring of 2008 regarding the elimination of the AGP. Meanwhile ICANN's
At-Large Advisory Committee ([[ALAC]] requested the board to investigate the practices to formulate a relevant policy to prevent domain tasters and kiters.<ref>[http://www.betanews.com/article/ICANN-may-end-grace-periods-killing-off-domain-tasting/1201728860 betanews.com]</ref>
In June 2008 2008, ICANN implemented a provisional policy ( July 1 2008 to June 30, 2009) as a short-term solution in response to the internet community's concern regarding domain tasting. Under the policy registrars will not be entitled to receive the $0.20 refund for administration fee if they deleted more than 10 percent of their registered domain. The policy was successful dropping the number of deleted domains from 18 million to 2 million.After the provisional period ICANN adopted a tougher policy which required registrars to pay $6.75 for every excessive delete.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/tlds/agp-status-report-12aug09-en.pdf The End Of Domain Tasting]</ref>
