The cost to get a domain from ICANN under the new rules is estimated
to be about $100,000.  Don't you think we can assume that people who
are laying out that kind of money are big boys and girls who will do
adequate due diligence?

There are several ICANN documents describing the new process that
include a set of recommendations to guide the process.  You must have
read them, since you are concerned about this proposal.  Do you think
that recommendations 3, 4, and 20 are adequate to address this
problem?  If not, why not?
