http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/delegated-strings<p>This page is full of bogus names like "Spring Falls", "Storm Orchard", and "Holly Hill". Who owns these companies?
Those companies are usually Donuts Group companies. (www.donuts.co). If you look them up here:<p><a href="https://gtldresult.icann.org/application-result/applicationstatus/viewstatus" rel="nofollow">https://gtldresult.icann.org/application-result/applications...</a><p>You'll see the contact listed has a donuts.co email address. For example, try .exchange
It looks like these companies may have been set up specifically to hide who owns them (sort of like what patent trolls do).<p>Here's some information about "Storm Orchard, LLC", incorporated in Delaware in 2012:<p><a href="http://www.bizapedia.com/de/STORM-ORCHARD-LLC.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.bizapedia.com/de/STORM-ORCHARD-LLC.html</a>
That is why the campaign by Global Witness to end anonymous companies is so important.<p>It is really a bummer that ICANN accepts just any legal corporation. Without knowing who they really are or without disclosing this information to the public.
