[ga] Re: [At-Large] Registrars exploit the lack of ICANN contract enforcement

Re: a) What process does ICANN have to audit registrar
compliance with the RAA?

ICANN plans to "increase" site visits to assess RAA
compliance -- they will now visit up to 100 sites --
golly that's almost ten percent of the registrar
community, so perhaps in a decade we will finally have
full compliance.  See page 22 of the current operating
plan at
http://www.icann.org/planning/ops-budget-framework-09.pdf
 
b) Once egregious violations of the RAA is brought
to ICANN's attention, what process does ICANN have to
correct them?

Currently ICANN puts out a "Notice of Intent to Issue
Advisory", accepts public comments, and then does
nothing. -- see 
http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-19sep07.htm
as an example of current practices.
