Do you really think it is a good idea to require a court case and a trial 
to take down a phish site pretending to be Paypal or the Bank of America?

You're quite right that among ICANN's less attractive qualities is its 
tendency to invent half-assed processes dominated by lobbyists.  On the 
other hand, for every controversial high profile domain takedown, there 
must be a thousand routine phish squashes.

If there's no formal process to do that, there will be informal processes, 
and they're even more capricious than ICANN.  Be careful what you wish 
for.

R's,
John
