I can think of several registrars
(such as Network Solutions and Domain People) who are taking multiple registrations
for the same name; leading to and insiders-only horserace for the generic names...ICANN
Accredation is worthless to the consumer, and gives us no benefit whatsoever. We
are still getting ripped by the registrars and ICANN cant (or wont) investigate the
problem, despite the many posts...
This leads me to think the whole consideration
of "ICANN accredation" is purely to lure consumers into buying into these domain
names, which leads to the conclusion that ICANN and the registrars are in bed together;
joined at the hip...
