RE: [registrars] Registrars Collecting on Multi-Year Registrations

["Siegfried Langenbach" <svl@nrw.net>]

Hallo,

 pardon me, but again I can not agree.
 the fact that some registrars (not all) fail the obligation to publish 
true data on the whois can not result in moving the whois (or part of 
it) to the registry. If we continue with that logic we will be asking 
soon that the registry takes over other duties of registrars....and 
finally we have a monopoly again (with a registry whose registrar 
does publish false data according to ICANN ) .

There is a contract between ICANN, registry and registrar...
what about to enforce the provisions...is it that strange? not in 
europe.
