John and all, My answers interspersed below. John Levine wrote:
Why isn't this a violation of RAA 3.7.4:
Of course it's a violation, just like NSI's front running.
My questions:
a) What process does ICANN have to audit registrar compliance with the RAA?
Obviously none or it's not working.
b) Once egregious violations of the RAA is brought to ICANN's attention, what process does ICANN have to correct them?
Kindly ask them to cease and desist? Offer them a cookie if they will cease such lack of oversight or errant activity?
