ICANN destroys internet anonymnity

] "Bogus "Whois Problem Reports" are increasingly going
] from being an annoyance to being a real security risk.
] Some recent incidents I've experienced due to Whois
] Problem Reports *merely* being filed:
]
] * Dotster, about two weeks ago, threatened to delete a
] domain if I didn't respond.
]
] * BulkRegister, just yesterday, threatened to suspend a
] domain if I didn't respond within 5 calendar days.

Anyone can go to ICANN's webform and submit a complaint about any website. There is no human intervention because ICANN felt that there were few abuses of the system back when no body knew about it. You registrar will automatically generate an email and send it to you. If you don't respond within a very short period of time you loose the domain. The time to switch to registrars who protect anonymnity is now.
