Very true - If this is going to work, it's goign to have to be on a global scale, Not just one country of registrars can be made to correct the problem as people who maliciously register domains will just do what the spyware companies do, go to a country that doesn't care and do business there.
isn't that why we have ICANN? Shouldn't we ask for policy at the ICANN level that penalizes registrys who can then penalize registrars for bad behaviour? From the beginning of this discussion there's ben the point made that without financial incentives this is all moot. That supposed policy should include financial penalties it would seem.
How much more, per-domain registration or renewal, would you be prepared to pay to cover the due-diligence requirements, the additional skilled staff, the legal and PR costs when domains are cancelled due to false accusations (or true ones) and so on? (I'd be prepared to pay quite a bit more, if it were to actually work, but I know it wouldn't). Cheers, Steve
