Both
of these registrars/registrants have many many more names which are as yet unchallenged.
My
question is:
At what point does ICANN step in to protect the consumer, by removing
the accreditation of Registrars if they have been shown to be fraudulent and corrupt?
And
do the ICANN authorities understand that if they continue to sponsor and advertise
companies that have acted fraudulently, they will expose themselves and weaken their
own positions?
What sanctions will be taken against Registrars who are shown to
be frauds? Will ICANN respond please, or what's the point of having this "open and
transparent" forum?
