I well know they don't because they are still stuck in 1980's think mode. It's how do we get then out of 1980's think mode and get them to use some of the tools that were provided to them nearly a decade ago now. How do we apply the clue bat to the CTO and the CEO of these provisioning providers to get them to come out of the dark ages? ICANN might be able to do some something. Lots of their accredited registrar are also in the provisioning business.
