I am a bit surprised at the naivete expressed in this discussion. ICANN does not take down any registrants, that is left to the registrars. Hi Bob,
I never said ICANN was taking down registrants.
The RAA appears to be just fine as a contract (no, I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice) that, in my opinion, would stand up in court. ICANN and the registrars have lawyers who have looked closely at the RAA. If either believed it was not enforcable, I am pretty sure someone would have taken action by now. I guess it very much depends in which country you are located. Opinions are fine (I have many), but doing one's homework first on a complex and important issue is helpful. My homework did not allow me to identify relevant case courts outside the USA. I would be most interested if you could share some references.
