Thomas Barrett to IcannWatch and CircleID:
"All EnCirca .pro registrations have verified credentials prior to the activation of their domain name"

EnCirca Registrant:
"There was absolutely no verification performed by Encirca as part of the process. It was simply sign up, pay $49, and 'viola'."

Excuse me Thomas, but how do you square that circle. The registrant's .pro domain was registered and activated. His credentials were not checked at all.

And if you say, "Well, EnCirca are the Registrant and its our own credentials that are verified" then you are admitting that the domain owner who gets the domain doesn't actually have to profess a profession at all, there's no checking of them, it's all up to them...

That is the *opposite* of what the ICANN Agreement intends!!!

You may as well let everyone get a domain, and it's OK, because you the registrar have some kind of credentials.

... And that is exactly what appears to have happened.
