Wait untill you hear from Mike before anyone makes any judgment on this.

Katrina has nothing to do with them requesting to do what is basically a 2257 inspection.
Nor does whether or not anyone that owns the company or works there is a good person or not. Nor does who they hang out with in bars or rub elbows with at conventions.
This is a policy issue.
Sometimes good people can have bad policies.
I'd be very satisfied if tomorrow or later in the week DirectNic says they don't intend to ask for such private documents about 3rd party individuals in the future, and won't hold a domain owner hostage until said documents are turned over. If they want to say I'm an asshole for bringing this up before they issue a statement, that's fine too.
I understand that some sort of internal corporate conversation is going to be going on tomorrow in DirectNic, and that some sort of decision will be made about moving forward. Which is exactly why I wanted to state my personal opinions about the matter, and open a dialog for others to do the same, NOW and not AFTER a decision is made.
Sometimes public dialog can help steer policy, both governmental and corporate.
