I agree that ICANN's WHOIS policy shift would be akin to criminal
negligence.

What do you think of the concept of "domain tasting with proper whois"? :)

(Yes, I think domain tasting and this ICANN move regarding whois are both
large crocks of bovine-based fertilizer.  I *could*, in a better world, support
the concept of "special circumstances" as Computerworld mentioned - except that
to make it *useful*, ICANN and the bottom-feeding registrars would have to
collectively grow some testicles.  Otherwise, every phisher and spammer would
file for "political dissident" status (hey - they disagree with the politics
that passes laws that prohibit their behavior. They're dissidents :)

Except for the few that will claim to be running "Homes for battered domains" :)
