Re: [registrars] whois lookup

I would assume that this kind of behavior I described  would affect ALL
registrar's image and would be sanctioned under any proposed registrar "code
of conduct" .

improper registrar actions towards outside parties (be they their own
customers, other registrars customers or registries) can influence outsiders
views of our "constituents" and that is of paramount concern to me.

I am frankly tired of people using  the improper actions of a few registrars
to "paint" all registrars.

if we want to have future creditability for our constituency, then we need
to be willing to "step up to the plate" and deal difficult issues like this
which affect our respective business image..

any registrar who uses improper & unethical  business practices to
"advantage" themselves in the marketplace needs to be "strongly sanctioned"
and the issues I raise most definitely fall within this area.
