You are 100% correct sir.  They are not.  The word "abdicate" implies
that they actually _had_ some responsibility in the first place.
But the registrar community had lobbied long and hard to insure
that they have never, and will never have any legal liability or
responsibility for anything, ever, no matter how bad.

So the correct applicable word in this case is not "abdication".
It is "avoidance".

>As a registrar of record....

Gee!  And I was just about to compliment you for your selfless
and vocal defence of the poor downtrodden and much msunderstood
domain registrars, to which you yourself have no connection.
