Questions for Richard Forman from a Registrar constituency member:

- What is your view on 'Cybersquatting' (i.e. the registration of large
numbers of domains for potential future resale)?
- Do you believe that Registrars should have credible contact information
from their customers before entering domains into the DNS?

Thanks,
