Ask HN: Do we still need ICAAN

2 pointslevlaz1 comment

I got an email today from namecheap about some new shenanigans from ICAAN: https://www.namecheap.com/blog/keep-domain-prices-in-check/?utm_source=Iterable&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Service_DomPriceIncrease_20190425

I’m honestly curious why still need a middleman in this process at all (including registrars in general).

These all seem to be 1970s solutions to modern problems and surely we can get away from digital rent seekers?
