"ICANN said the new policy resulted in a 99.7 percent decrease in domain deletions from June 2008 to April 2009."

Looks like they nailed it. Can't ask for much better than that.

Certainly a nice stat to see, but what I think would be significantly more interesting is data on bulk buyers of domains. After all, a drop in deletions says nothing about the purchasing of said domains; what would be great to see is a drop in bulk domain purchases.
