They're heading one step in the right direction as far as i could tell from that article.
I can't imagine why someone would disagree with their new approach?

Unless they still can't find their way to a telephone

When a invalid WHOIS is reported and it clearly is - then at least there should be made 3 attempts to get the registrant or someone in the capacity to speak and act for the registrant (lawyer) on the phone to correct the information.

When they just start shutting things down again without making proper attempts for establishing contact with the registrant then it's still a poor and flawed communication strategy.

Even worse when they place a fee on top of it for deactivation.
All they have to do is lock or change the nameservers and keep it locked.
There is no dollar amount that could justify such a trivial implementation.

But i do see there is a small step forward without knowing if they still have not improved their communication strategy or discontinued their ransom fee policy.

Thanks for the link!
