Increasingly in recent times, both in the UK and Switzerland, I
have had to send a copy of my passport and proof of address for my
company when dealing with financial institutions, government
services and legal organisations. It looks to me like the world is
moving at an increased pace towards KYC (Know Your Customer) and I
fail to understand why the Domain Name Industry could continue
living in its own bubble especially when it comes to criminal
activity and money laundering?<br>
