Come on. Every day, in ICANNland, people lose their domains, because
they forget to renew (or their registrar forget to tell them) or
because the domain was suspended by GoDaddy because MySpace asked so
or because they were hit by an UDRP from a big company with many
lawyers or because the domain was hijacked. And nobody cares.

Tell me rather what would happen if Verisign goes brankrupt. Does the
ICANN has a up-to-date copy of the database? (Including the
information stored in registrars' bases.)
