One of the problems I see is with a seeming lack of follow-through on fraudulently purchased domains. Another is a seemingly long time to remove domains that are 'up to no good'. Taking out of this problem space the 'domain tasting' or 'domain kiting' issue (which is really a use of loopholes there for consumer protection...) If you look at the domain registration system as a legacy process, what would you do differently if re-inventing it? That, it seems to me, is likely the best path forward. Take your opinions/options and get them codified into new policy for registries/registrars to follow. With every relatively static and relatively open set of policies eventually bad-actors will find a set of loopholes or vulnerabilities to get their job done. It seems that re-evaulating the polcies/procedures/requirements would be useful in this matter. -Chris
