I have an idea!<br> <br> What if we created one global organization to accredit and monitor<br> literall all domain name registrar companies, and what if we allowed<br> that organization to actually *disipline* domain name registrars which<br> have proven by their actions that they are purely profit-oriented<br> anti-social assholes?<br> <br> Now I know what you are thinking. "Impossible!", right? But I can<br> dream, can't I?<br> <br> <br> Regards,<br> rfg<br> <br> <br> P.S. Namecheap, Inc., whose name comes up repeatedly in this study,<br> has at various times claimed to have its headquarters in California<br> and then, subsequently, in Arizona. as far as I have been been able<br> to determnine it has never been properly registered in either state.<br> <br> It is, I believe, logical to infer from that fact that it has never<br> filed a state-level tax return in either California or Arizona, quite<br> possibly violating the law in either or both states.<br> <br> Not that ICANN would give a shit. Aa long as no officers of any accredited<br> registrar have murdered anybody lately, or been convicted of robbing any<br> banks lately, I think that ICANN is OK with pretty much anything else,<br> as long as they keep on getting their checks regularly.<br> <br> I am reminded of that old saying...
