[ga] How hard should it be to get a domain registered? At what point does a ccTLD manager become guilty of abusive behavior?

["William X. Walsh" <william@dso.net>]

I hope you can take 10 minutes to read this.

It is a timeline of one companies attempt to register a domain in the Kenya ccTLD,
administered by one Randy Bush.

So what is the DNSO's position on abusive ccTLD managers who create obstacles to
registration that ICANN itself couldn't meet?

This seems like a clear case under the rules of RFC1591 for a hearing on
redelegation of this domain.  The current manager has set overly excessive
requirements before process registrations, and this is not only not in the best
interests of the Internet community, but is specifically harmful to the local
internet community in Kenya, when business's in its own country are unable to secure
domain names because of this one person's abusive positions.
