Domain Front Running

[Jeffrey Walton <noloader () gmail com>]

Hi All,

Does anyone know if ICANN now prohibits front running [1]? I can only
find things like "Call for Policy Consideration" after studying the
problem [2]?

> From [3], it appears ICANN claimed they couldn't do anything about it.
But the article is a few years old.

If its not prohibited, is anyone aware of who is currently doing it?
Is Network Solutions still practicing it [4]?

By the way, Network Solutions was not the innocent babe in the woods
looking out for potential registrars as they claimed: [3] [5].

Jeff
