Accreditation and RAA context

ICANN Got Paid. Accountability Did Not Arrive.

For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN contract. ICANN collects annual, variable and transaction-based fees tied to registrations, renewals and transfers.

Accreditation: monetized. Accountability: please check back later.

Then the magic starts: ICANN writes RAA §3.18, the registrar investigates abuse inside its own customer base, and victims deliver the evidence for free while every layer waits for someone else to act. If that makes victims feel safer, excellent—the invoice worked.

Accreditation is a contract, not a safety seal. Verify ICANN fees Read RAA §3.18 PHISHDESTROY INVESTIGATIONThe ICANN Cartel: $155M for Broken Contracts
