If this is an important issue for Frank, ask yourself if it's an important issue for you....let's start sending the feedback to ICANN, folks.
Frank's analogy with the home mortgage is good. He paints a clear picture. Proposed contract changes such as you've outlined shine a bright light on how corrupt people look to exploit and steal through any opening they can find. The domainer community has fed the registrars. Let's see how many of the registrars remember that. This is one of those rare situations where it will be necessary to know on which side of the fence everyone stands.

There is self-interest ... and then there's just unbelieveable greed. You're right about the need to be vocal. Only public outcry will push slicksters back on their heels.

Interestingly, quite a few members around turn of the year were expressing concern about an increase in forthcoming abuses as a result of the media attention and focus on big money. The domain industry is now contending with new level of underhandedness.
