Not sure the RPZ hammer has been brought out in force yet. I've seen a few recommendations on various mailing lists, but no concerted effort. Unfortunately, there is no easy/scalable way to determine who a registrar for a given name is, so the hammer has to be applied to the TLD as a whole, which has unfortunate side effects... >> I love how people love to blame ICANN. > > but, they are the names and numbers authority, no? it says so in their name. "Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers" -- Don't see "authority" in that name. :) Regards, -drc (speaking only for myself)
