The problem doesn't even exist it is clearly covered under other procedures. And the TO domain as an abuse policy, Barry obivously hasn't followup up on it in any detail, or he would have indicated otherwise (at least he is usually very detail oriented.

At least with the .to domain it is clear who is responsible for the domain. With .com, .net, etc. the name space crosses legal boundaries inviting all sorts of legal confusion. The legal situation could be clarified considerably if the gtld's were moved under the country code domains. Certainly the legal confusion surrounding the gtld's shouldn't be used as a rational for not developing a process (which is what Barry suggested) for attending to problems associated with the country code domains.
