But as part of the whole picture, that Tonga's domain seems to be used as nothing but a "safe harbor" for porn sites engaged in criminal activity and even their own supposed govt consulate comes up as an ad for a software company etc, it would seem to indicate that this domain, .to, is not being used as a legitimate country TLD, is not being managed by the people it was assigned to for the purpose it was assigned, etc.
This raises a qustion I was hoping we could avoid for quite a long time: Who is in a position of authority to pass judgement on whether the assigned authority over the .to top-level domain should "be allowed" to register such people in it's domain? Is there a policy on the root domain? Who enforces this? Who owns it? Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
