pretty easy system to game -- has ICANN done anything about this? How can you be an accredited registrar and not list a legitimate physical address as your primary place of doing business? ________________________________________ From: na-discuss-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org [na-discuss-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org] On Behalf Of Danny Younger [dannyyounger@yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, January 02, 2009 12:27 PM To: na-discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org Cc: ga@gnso.icann.org Subject: [NA-Discuss] OnlineNic's real address Cybersquatting registrar OnlineNic has gone out of its way to hide its primary business address. On ICANN's list of accredited registrars it only posts this info: Carrie Arden Tel: 510-769-8492 Google's residential phonebook shows this phone number registered to: Rex Liu 2251 Mosley Ave,Alameda, CA 94501 Rex is cited as an onlinenic technical contact here: http://www.ratite.com/whois/whois.cgi?domain=registrar+ONLINENIC. Hint: note the large number of Xiamen, China phone numbers Meanwhile, OnlineNic's support page provides a mailing address at 351 Embarcadero E. Oakland, CA 94606 Unfortunately, their office isn't there either -- for an investigative report (complete with pictures) see http://dotsnews.com/domain-name-news/184 So where is their primary place of business?
