The registry policy does not empower Afilias to take away names from registrants just because the registry considers them abusive. Instead, the registry has to demonstrate material deceit (fraud); over the past few months we have done exactly this to numerous registrars when asking them to remove .info domains that are being used for illegal purposes.
When I say illegal - I mean, for example, sites used in phishing, sites used to for malware and spyware, sites that promote child porn, sites that download software (drive-bys) onto unsuspecting users and steal identity -- the kind of stuff that results in jail time or at least heavy fines. We work with the cybercrime units of the FBI, the RCMP (Canada) and with several European agencies to reduce and remove criminal actors from the scene.
