Well in "best interest of public" would be maximum x domains per entity. I am sure if masses could vote on it it would win with 99%+ majority.
Tasting is not good example - they did not take anything, they just stopped giving... |
My point is or was Denny, that for you and I to hold equity in domain names, a healthy commercial balance must be maintained. ICANN should be implementing policies that keep that balance, and more importantly maintain credibility and consumer confidence. Without checks and balances, you'll get a mini Wall Street scenario where greed will end up burning the house down. Registrars warehousing domains should be a giant red flag in the eyes of anyone with equity in domains. Back alley drop markets that only registrars have access to, again should be a giant red flag in the eyes of all domainers.
Without rules, humans are swinging from the trees, throwing feces at each other. Free markets live and die in accordance to how they are regulated. You can still call yourself a domainer, and yet look at the industry with both eyes open. Lots of shady stuff happening. The domain drop market for example has become a lot like downtown Mogadishu.
