<div>Here is the response from US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to ICANN’s letter regarding .SUCKS</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>No action taken, but an investigation might be underway — they can't comment on active investigations. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>FTC says “it appears that Vox Populi and perhaps other registries may be violating the spirit, even if not the letter, of [RPMs]”</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>FTC reiterates many of the recommendations they made in the past that ICANN did not follow. Including in the area of verifying credentials of registrants in highly regulated markets.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>FTC says its imperative that ICANN review all these issues in order to improve any future offering of gTLDs.</div>
