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
