ICANN send three registrars Notices Of Breach Of the Registrar Accreditation Agreement
The three domain name registrars are:
Dotted Ventures, Inc. (IANA# 833) of Atlanta, GA which owes past due accreditation fees in the amount of $9,289.10
A. Telecom S.A. (IANA# 1458) of Sao Paulo Brazil which owes past due accreditation fees in the amount of $10,863.67
Basic Fusion, Inc. (IANA# 813) of New York NY which owes past due accreditation fees in the amount of $5,091.59.
Each registrar was given until May 14th 2013 to cure the breach or face RAA termination by ICANN.
I would like to see registrars with lack of enforcement to correct whois information be considered to breach of contract, not only the ones that don’t pay the fees to them. it seems ICANN is only here to collect money
Dotted Ventures Inc have now been de-accredited, and all domains managed by IANA#833 have been migrated to Astutium.com under the RegTransition process.

@Jose
The reasons for removing an accreditation are not just fees (although thats a common one when a registrar is struggling) – several have recently been removed due to fail to comply with other policies such as the data-escrow etc
If you have an issue regarding WHOIS there is a proper procedure for reporting that and those are forwarded onto registrars for action.
