I can tell you what it is: *none whatsoever*. Based on a multi-year
history, the InterNIC will not intervene in situations like this,
even if the domain's information is obviously falsified, and even if the
whole thing is obviously a spam setup. The InterNIC apparently feels
that spammer's $70 registration fees are as good as anyone elses',
and continues to allow well-known spammers to register domains.
This is no surprise, of course: two of the major resource problems
facing the net (IP address space exhaustion, unchecked proliferation
of domain names in violation of InterNIC's stated one-organization,
one-domain policy) are also the direct result of InterNIC greed.
