Which is essentially different from what they do now, how? All care, no responsibility is ICANN's problem. It's (largely) a bunch of idealistic dinosaurs who have not realized that making an open network readily available to all-comers results in much the same thing as making an open trench drainage system readily to all-comers -- a rapidly degenerating sewer... These are the same folk who gave us the, ahem, "benefits" of domain tasting, but a change like this new suggestion won't be as trivially backed out of. In fact, this kind of change almost certainly could not be backed out of (at least, it's not possible to imagine ICANN ever growing the balls to admit what a fuck-up they were when they decided to do it), so one would _hope_ they give it a tad more, and significantly more considered, thought _with specific attention to the obviously legion BAD THINGS that it would open up_, than they have given their recent "innovations"...
