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

Jart et., al.,

  Good.  And an apt quote as well!  Well done!

  Now if we can only get ICANN's staff and Bod on board
as well as the rest of the registrars on board.  Wishful thinking?
I hope not.  But we all know that the profit motive is a stong one
and that ICANN's incaiatable desire for $$ via fees for registrations
is very difficult to overcome.  This of course is central to what's
wrong with ICANN.
