Registrars have a conflict of interest (they want to be profitable). Even answering the phone to deal with this type of problem costs more than a registration is worth. Hence, it is easier to establish domain tasting which essentially drops this entire problem into someone else's lap. > 2.

It would be nice if there were an agency that had a mechanism in place for routinely yanking domains that pose a public threat. Who would you trust in that role? Unfortunately, the US has lost their credibility as loudly echoed on this list. > 4. Black lists for providers are not perfect, but perhaps they > could help protect users significantly? Black-hole or block-lists is where protection can be introduced, political push back will thwart centralized enforcement. To support this mode of operation, a preview mode of operation would be highly beneficial. Currently bad actors will keep such efforts in a futile feckless reactive mode. > 5.

At least they know how to check physical IDs. - -Doug -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Desktop 9.6.0 (Build 214) wj8DBQFGEc7Vq1pz9mNUZTMRAtoyAKDHDvGL6rvC+tKjlfrN0T09f4JjGACg+GBa rARiLG+Oj2UY1y1EFjqPlA8= =PJHj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
