Apparently, NSI is now in violation of their cooperative agreement,
http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome/domainname/agreements/amendment21.htm
As administrator, NSI shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
maintain the status quo with respect to the operational policies,
practices, procedures, administration, and daily operations of the
.us domain (except as may be reasonably necessary to comply with
customary business practices and to minimize or mitigate risks), and,
unless directed by the Department, shall not alter the registration
policies of the .us domain.
Who do we sue for damages?
Shall we bring a clas action?
