All,

  Is Spamhaus, one of Veni's favorite organizations, over
reaching, or has another of ICANN's registrars begun to
follow the behavior of RegistryFly but from a different
angle?  What does this say for ICANN's "Accreditation"?
What does it say for the ICANN RAA's?

(June 21, 2007)
Austrian domain name registrar Nic.at has been placed on Spamhaus's
blocklist because it allegedly supplied service to known phishing
domains.  The domains reportedly belong to a Russian phishing group that
had used .hk (Hong Kong) domains until that registrar began cracking
down on shady practices.  The Austrian registry has reportedly been less
than cooperative, indicating concerns should be addressed to the domain
owners and that they need proof to support claims that the domains in
question had been registered in names of non-existent people and paid
for with stolen credit card information.  The listing of Nic.at is
merely symbolic, however; no email is blocked.  The purpose of the
listing is to draw attention to the situation.
