[At-Large] [NA-Discuss] Where is the promised Comprehensive Review of ICANN Accreditation Processes?

[Derek Smythe]

Agreed.

The same goes for privacy providers. If a privacy provider's contact 
details are invalid, they have no business in the market.

In fact not being able to contact a privacy provider is a registrant 
and consumer risk, making a joke of the RAA, item 3.7.7.3.

Every set of Web publishing best practices that's been put forward, including WebWatch's own work, gives big weight to whether there's a real address and phone number displayed on the site. Even the FTC, in its consumer education tips, tells people not to do business with a Web site that doesn't at least display a physical address and phone number. It shouldn't be a stretch to require the same of registrar sites.
