It is not fuss, it is real abuse based on confusion and misinformation from some registrars which are taking advantage of some "packaged deal schemes" offering registrar services for names that are based on some ccTLDs, including particular ones that do not have agreements or MoUs or even recognize the figure of a registrar, and never delegated the authority or responsibility of registration services to a third party, public or private.
I think we can agree that we are all opposed to fraud. But if they're not abusing domains that ICANN controls, how is this ICANN's problem, as opposed to the consumer regulators in the countries where the registrars operate? R's, John
