ICANN At-Large Committee Demands Answers on 48 Phantom Registrars
September 2, 2008

The issues of Phantom Registrars and Registrar Criminality have become a source of outrage at ICANN’s At-Large Committee.

Comment: “We cannot allow ICANN to get off the hook so easily. We cannot put through yet another tame comment while consumer protections are falling by the wayside with increased regularity.
…
Who anywhere would stand for accreditations being provided to non-existent companies and shell corporations?
…
ICANN has long been captured by the registries and registrars that exclusively feed its coffers. Whatever they want, they get and the public usually gets screwed.

ICANN has not shown it can manage the DNS and represent the users of the Internet. From the time of it’s inception, ICANN has shown a pattern of representing the interests of larger corporations ahead of users. Their charter, bylaws, and mission statement are all in conflict with how ICANN actually operates.

The department of commerce should be looking at how the Internet is being managed and should immediately hold hearings on how it has been mismanaged.
