Domain Registry Of America Suspended By ICANN

(Internet News): http://www.internetnews.me/2014/07/19/domain-registry-america-suspended-icann/

   "Since at least 2009, ICANN has received numerous complaints from
    Registered Name Holders, registrars, and various ICANN Supporting
    Organizations and Advisory Committees regarding the business
    solicitation practices of Brandon Gray's resellers.  Such practices
    were not specifically prohibited under the 2001 and 2009 RAAs.
    Section 3.12 of the 2013 RAA, however, requires registrars to ensure
    its reseller's actions comply with the RAA, as well as the
    Registrants' Benefits and Responsibilities Specification, which
    protects Registered Name Holders from false or deceptive practices.
    Brandon Gray's reseller Registration Services Inc. ("RSI") conducts
    business through the brands Domain Registry of America ("DROA"),
    Domain Registry Services ("DRS"), Domain Registry of Canada ("DROC"),
    and Domain Renewal Group ("DRG").  As detailed below, the domain
    renewal notices sent by RSI through its brands deceive Registered Name
    Holders to transfer domain names to Brandon Gray."

Only took ICANN five years to act.
