I am concerned about the ASAP date that was given to this company as a dateline for publishing a valid address. In my experience ASAP means whenever you want. I recommend that ICANN gives them and specific date, i.e. let's say...by tomorrow?. It just take a few minutes or less to update a web page.

Dear Garth and Bob:
Thanks for your comments. This registrar recently signed the 2009 RAA, effective 13 July 2010, which includes a "new" requirement that the registrar post a valid address on its website. The registrar was informed of this requirement and advised to make the adjustments to its website ASAP.
ICANN is reviewing the Whois related complaint you mentioned below and we are in communication with the registrar about the matter.
We appreciate your interest in making sure registrars comply with the terms of the RAA and we hope that you will continue to work collaboratively with us in the future. Working together with the community has enhanced ICANN's effort to address registrar non-compliance in several areas, such as the UDRP, Whois related provisions and Registrar Data Escrow. Please see our website for details regarding our escalated compliance actions http://www.icann.org/en/compliance/.
Sincerely,
Stacy Burnette Director Contractual Compliance ICANN 4676 Admiralty Way Suite 330 Marina del Rey, CA 90292 +1(310) 301-3860

They must have paid off their outstanding bills. The loss of accreditation was for not paying their bills, not for any other failure under the RAA. This offers up evidence for what ICANN believes is important: money, not good behavior. It's very sad.

Hello all,
To my chagrin I just read that that A Technology Company's termination was reversed and their accreditation renewed under the new 2009 RAA. (http://www.icann.org/en/compliance/#updates):
"13 July 2010: A Technology Company, Inc. cured all outstanding contract breaches as of 30 June 2010. A Technology Company, Inc.'s accreditation was renewed on 13 July 2010."
I'm very confused by this for two specific reasons:
1. A Technology Company does not post their mailing address on their website as required by the 2009 RAA in section 3.16
The address is not on their home page, contact us, FAQ, company info, about us, or in any of their agreement or legal documents.
AND
2. They have been manipulating their own WHOIS record in the web and Port 43.
Trying to get the record returns one of these statements:
"Sorry, Domainname does not exists in our DB" - From A Technology Company own web WHOIS at https://www.namesystem.com/website/whois.jsp
From Port 43: "Checking server [whois.namesystem.com] Results: Sorry, Domain does not exist in the null system."
However, "NameSystem" is the Registrar for "namesystem.com", see
http://reports.internic.net/cgi/whois?whois_nic=namesystem.com&type=domain ,
which means what? They are manipulating the search.
A Technology Company has deeply obfuscated themselves. Even the Better Business Bureau says "Company Cannot Be Located" when trying to resolve consumer disputes!
This case would make it seem that as long as a Registrar pays the bills, everything else is permissible.
I'm shocked.
