I think Kent makes a good point here.  The focus should be placed on protecting those who are not being punished, from being dealt with in an unfair 
manner.   As I am aware that this is the current procedure instituted by ICANN in the event of registrar failure (having been informed of it by my registrar), I 
am completely satisfied that this is a sufficient measure.  It seems that ICANN does get some things right after all.
