Good letter, Alan.
Once again, my neighbours on a recent flight told me about the problems they have had with Domain speculators registering the domain for their company name and asking for $150K to transfer it to them. They had no idea how to address this and were outraged that ICANN appears to let this kind of thing happen unchecked. They also told me they had gone to the ICANN Web site and found nothing there to help them. I told them the available options they had. But really - I should not have to be in this position. This just reinforces the feeling I have that the domain name business is a wild west and ICANN is seriously failing to perform its duties with regards to the public interest. No wonder the public thinks that ICANN is unaccountable. Kindest regards,
Olivier
