Re: What is it about domain name registries that attracts so much scandal and bad behaviour?
That's actually a very good question. ICANN is the grandfather in this domain, we have Afrinic and now Canada as well.
I'm guessing it's because they don't have all that much to do once the domain names have been approved. So they just sit around all day and wait for something to do, which of course means there is ample time to fool around. And, humans being humans, if they have time to fool around, they will.
