ICANN to File Suit Against RegisterFly

Hell Puppy · 03-29-2007

This whole episode has unveiled some flaws in the domain system and ICANN's armor. If a registrar goes totally tits up or decides to just be a dick, it appears there is no backup proof of registration information. I hope I'm wrong about that but this is what is indicated on the surface by this suit. ICANN would like to take care of the registered owners of these domains, but without RegisterFly's database, how do you determine who owns what and how to get to them?

A true vulture would be running queries against all domains registered at RegisterFly and looking for the highly desirable ones should they become available due to the ineptitude of ICANN and RegisterFly.
