I thought we were talking about IP allocation, detecting shell companies and fake paperwork here, dave. If there were registrar rather than RIR issues involved I'd probably phrase that differently On Tue, Feb 1, 2011 at 9:19 PM, Dave CROCKER <dhc@dcrocker.net> wrote:
The challenge in making comparative references like this is to make sure the comparison has a reasonable basis. So, for example, banks are not expected to give loans to everyone. They are in fact /required/ to discriminate. (However even banks have limitations on the nature or extent of that discrimination.)
A core problem with calls for differential handling of "abusive" domain registrations is that it opens the door to abuses by the authority.
