What are your thoughts on basic suggestions such as:
1. Allowing registrars to terminate domains based on abuse, rather than
just fake contact details.


Are you crazy or what?  Ever heard of due process?  What is abuse?  Who
decides that?  Office of pre-crime?

In the end the cure is worse than the diseas (by abusing the anti-abuse
system.  DMCA abuse anyone?  Or the stupid bogons list so many people
forget to update every friggin time IANA allocated a new /8 to one of
the RIRs?)

3. For true emergencies threatening the survivability of the system,
shoudln't we be able to black-list a domain in the core?


Never ever should anything like that be done at the core.  Especially
when you try to fix a problem that isn't even at the core but in one
vendors operating system without a proper fix after having known it
for more than five month.

Gadi, you're barking up the wrong tree. Try to hit Microsoft instead.
