So I have logs documenting DROA machine harvesting whois data via our 
easywhois.com universal whois lookup. It's no newsflash that they are 
harvesting data, but now I have logs showing they are doing it.

Enom: Aren't these guys one of your resellers?

Is there any will within ICANN at all to enforce the rules against this?
