Hey!  I have an idea!

What if we created one global organization to accredit and monitor
literall all domain name registrar companies, and what if we allowed
that organization to actually *disipline* domain name registrars which
have proven by their actions that they are purely profit-oriented
anti-social assholes?

Now I know what you are thinking.  "Impossible!", right?  But I can
dream, can't I?

P.S.  Namecheap, Inc., whose name comes up repeatedly in this study,
has at various times claimed to have its headquarters in California
and then, subsequently, in Arizona.  as far as I have been been able
to determnine it has never been properly registered in either state.

It is, I believe, logical to infer from that fact that it has never
filed a state-level tax return in either California or Arizona, quite
possibly violating the law in either or both states.

Not that ICANN would give a shit.   Aa long as no officers of any accredited
registrar have murdered anybody lately, or been convicted of robbing any
banks lately, I think that ICANN is OK with pretty much anything else,
as long as they keep on getting their checks regularly.

I am reminded of that old saying... "Fish rots from the head down."
