Survey: Are domain registrars free-speech friendly?

It also prompted owners of domain names to wonder about the reliability of their own registrars--and whether the domains they own are safe from suspension in the absence of a court order.
In response to requests from readers, CNET News.com conducted the following survey of 12 leading registrars: DirectNIC; Dotster; eNom; Gandi.net; Go Daddy; Melbourne IT; Moniker.com; NameKing; Network Solutions; OnlineNIC; Register.com; and Tucows.
We found that the French registrar Gandi.net and New Orleans-based DirectNIC offered the most extensive guarantees against unnecessary domain name suspension.
DirectNIC said it would suspend a domain in the absence of a court order only if the content is "clearly focused on child porn or a phishing site." Gandi.net said it would take extensive steps to contact the owner of a domain name in advance.
Go Daddy, on the other hand, gave Seclists.org owner Fyodor Vaskovich only 52 seconds from the time the initial voicemail notification was left to the time the domain was marked as "suspended." That's according to a log of correspondence with Go Daddy that Vaskovich made public. Go Daddy made the request on behalf of MySpace, which said a list of usernames and passwords had been posted by a user to Seclists.org.
Gandi.net's Stephan Ramoin said someone claiming to be from MySpace also made the same request of his registrar last week. But because Gandi.net could not get in touch with MySpace, and "as we were not provided with any justification for the complaint, no action was taken," he said. (Meanwhile, Vaskovich has obtained the domain NoDaddy.com and is using it to publicize the situation.)
Following are verbatim responses to the 10-question survey from registrars that were contacted. Not all chose to answer the questions, however.
