Re: Domain registration process needs revamping
said by GOLFnSUN  :... No one should be able to create a new domain without providing a street address and proof of identity - like you do when getting a passport or drivers license. Failure to do that should result in denial of a domain. ......... .
Part of the problem is that ICANN has allowed criminlas to infiltrate up the ladder, and become registrars themselves. ESTDOMAINS was allowed to operate for years as a crime magnet. That led to blatent bogus registrations by known criminals, such as these two credit card fraud laundering operations domains registered to "Richard Nixon", and "Sharon Stone" by a multi-year organized criminal enterprise:

It will take considerable work in order to root out the criminal entities the have embedded themselves in both registration, hosting, and the entire system. It has been laisez faire for far too long.
.
McColo corp was a wolf in sheep's clothing, that was masquerading as a US corp. The only thing within the US was their servers. The people who set McColo up and operate/d it, are thousands of miles away in Russia. You can set up a US corp or LLC from anywhere in the world via online registration. There is no requirement that you be here.
Planting your servers here anonymously, then operating within US IP space, offers criminals a stragetic advantage for nefarious activities.
