But it is also a registrar job to obtain and collect all relevant details
to substantiate the claim, if it's not easily defined at face value,
(which some, if not most of these geberic registrations seems to be) the
registrar can and should collect details, on record, that the registrant
is eligible for the domain name.

There is obviously something wrong if a claim is made by one business that
the do everything from computers to toothpicks or whatever it may be. As
was raised previously, (sorry can remember of hand who but you know who
you are) claims like this can clash with industries standards and are a
conflicts of interest, just on this fact registrars should be wary of the
registrant and there claims.

Seeking out more information will only help if there is an audit by the
auDA and I'm sure that if registered domains get revoked under the
registrar agreement the specific registrar will loose out more than the
serial registrant.. or what ever we want to call them.
