• ICANN rules are the reason for SPAM
  SPAM would be significantly reduced if some guidelines for Domains were enacted.
  1. Allowing someone to register 100 domains makes SPAMMING easy.
  2. Allowing someone to register 100 domains with fake information and giving them 15 days to correct the "errors" makes SPAMMING easy.
  3. Allowing someone to register 100 domains with fake information for web addresses and 100 domains for Name Servers with fake information makes SPAMMING easy.
  4. Allowing someone to register multiple domains and allowing them to send email from one network, host the domain (or hijack a server) on another network, and hide the Name Servers on another network makes SPAMMING easy.
  5. Make Registrars verify registration information (not just the credit card payment) BEFORE they activate the domain. And make them responsible for the use of that domain!
  6. Giving a customer absolute control over the name servers makes it easy for them to move the site selling fake Viagra on a daily basis. A domain name server should have the same name as the website and pointers should not be easily changed by the customer.
  7. The process should be: Register a domain; buy a block of IP addresses; build an email server; build a web server. If you can't do that then you have no legal business on the Internet!
  
  A legitimate ebusiness does not need to register multiple domains and does not need to move those domains on a daily basis. Legal eBusinesses would not suffer from restricted rules; but the SPAMMERS would and the get-rich-quick artists would as well. Thank you; but you are not needed on the Internet.
  
  The liberal rules of domain registration need to be changed. It is obvious that what was meant to be an open process has become a master key to the Internet criminals. They are simply "ab"-using the freedom they have been given. For this reason, those rights need to be restricted.
