ICANN Blames Melbourne IT for Panix Domain Hijacking
ICANN's current RAA (Registrar Accreditation Agreement) lacks a profound amount of teeth. If it had any, that is, if "ICANN Blames <insert any registrar here>" ment anything, Domain Registry of America' (remember them) registrars (note the plural) would be on the dock for something. MITs sins are pretty small in the grand scheme of things, and they didn't cause the race regime that was the root cause for PANIX.COM needing defense. ICANN is dorking the registry contracts for new sTLDs, and has dorked with the ccTLD contracts, and is now dorking with the registrar contracts. You all may wonder if ICANN is "bottom up" and these contracts reflect "consensus polices", if not caring about the DNSO circus for another round is really in your best interests. YMMV, as always.
