You should start a webring with all the other ones out there.

Is that really a priority?  Is your time well spent in putting up a page
to let people rant?  Do you honestly think that "exposing" the actions
of naame.com, seoulregister.com, verisign.com and other half-assed
registrars will somehow encourage them to clean up their acts?

The only real way to force them to clean up their acts is to get ICANN
to clean up *its* act.  While it's not nearly as fun as writing software
and building new interactive web sites, this sort of "grass roots"
lobbying simply isn't going to have an effect.

I don't know what *will* be useful.  Instinct says to get involved in
the politics, join WXW on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list, and add your voice to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s class action suit.  But perhaps, like Microsoft, the
current situation is just one of those evils which must be endured.
