What happens when they're wrong?
And who's 'they', btw? What qualifications must 'they' have? And
what happens if a registrar disagrees with 'them'? Or when 'they'
are instructed by their governments to objection to a domain because
of its perceived lack of redeeming social value, or somesuch?
It seems to me as if we've just talked through the
institutionalization of the Department of Domain Pre-Crime, with all
that entails. It could be argued that the proposed solution might be
worse than the problem it's purporting to solve.
