Ted and all,

  I fully recognize that blacklisting tasted domain names intentionally
has drawbacks as you rightly point out.  Yet, sooner or later those
Domain names and their associated IP addresses will eventually be
blacklisted outside of ICANN policy and thereby become very difficult
to rehabilitate at some date later after a full investigation by ICANN
can be reasonably conducted and the guilty parties identified to the
extent possible and appropriate action taken.  Once said investigation
has been completed, the offending Tasters dealt with [ hopefully harshly ].
Than, those blacklisted Domain names can be released as "Clean" domain
names and at that time re-registered in the proper positive use manner.

  Otherwise, the future of these tasted Domain names may never be
removed from some black listing services nor shall their associated
IP addresses.  I believe that this is a far worse, likely, scenario if a
process/policy such as I am suggesting is not implemented, AND,
Domain name Tasters will not be effectively, if at all, dealt with
in an effective manor.
