<P>Eric and all,</P>
<P> </P>
<P> GoDaddy is a long term and prolific violator of various and multipul
ICANN policies that has</P>
<P>been largely left unchecked. The most obvious reason is that GoDaddy
is ICANN's largest</P>
<P>registrar and therefore fee generating/ICANN funding single provider.
As such I for one</P>
<P>am not expecting much to curtain GoDaddy's frequently errant bahavior
accordingly any time</P>
<P>soon if ever. The old "Monye walks and BS Talks" syndrom is obviously
at play here.</P>
