Danny and all,

  Thank you again for your diligance here.  This again demonstrates
why ICANN and especially the GNSO, and ICANN registrars
need DOC/NTIA as well as other supervision.

  reported to ICANN by the Registrar as “suspended.” The nameserver is
  also sponsored by PDR and is itself an unlicensed pharmacy site. This
  is
  an example of a practice we have seen all too frequently where
  Internet
  companies will remove sites temporarily for reported policy violations

  only to restore them shortly afterwards. DIRECT INFO/PDR was rated the

  9th Worst Registrar by KnujOn in terms of sponsoring spam sites
  previously. Clearly the consumer is not being protected by the current

  system.
