[ga] Re: [RAA-WG] Directi suspends 175,547 abusive domains

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Derek and all,

  I also wish to commend this necessary action that evidently ICANN
was unwilling or unable to effect long ago.  One has to wonder why
ICANN did not act some time ago against many of these abusive
Domain Names, and/or registrars.  Me thinks the reason why not
has more to do about money via registration fees to ICANN more
than anything else.  I can only guess that money trumps abuse, unless
or until a huge amount of pressure from many quarters becomes
effective.  FWIW if such is true or the case, shame on ICANN's
leadership and oversight accordingly.
