I subscribe to the school that believes that consumers are best
protected not by the service provider, but by rights advocates.
Otherwise it becomes a service provider/organisation's
"customers/clients" business-client relational issue e.g. my ISP or
other online services providers non-profits/groups are not qualified
to articulate my domain name interests, unless they weigh in on my
interests as articulated by rights-based civil society
organisations/advocates.

kindly,

Alex
