Beau Brendler in Internet Evolution: ICANN Identity Crisis Blunts Moves Against Rogue Pharma

‘The limited range of ICANN’s “scope” here is nothing but a smokescreen. ICANN’s absence from the White House is just another example of the organization running to hide behind the nearest opaque object when questions come up about how it fails to enforce its own legal contract with registrars, called, mundanely enough, the Registrar Accreditation Agreement. Language in that agreement allows ICANN to delete domains with false WHOIS records, after an investigation and notification.

Now, how many illegal pharmacy domains, or fake Louis Vuitton handbag or Breitling watch domains for that matter, have true and accurate WHOIS data?’
