Yes.  This is one of the reasons I got out of abuse-fighting: the upper
levels of Internet governance (RIRs, domain registrars, and IANA/ICANN)
are exercising authority without accepting the responsibility that goes
with it.  You're not likely to get anywhere.

No such system is sustainable, of course, but the net is robust enough
that it's taking quite a while for the abuses to grow to the point
where the system collapses from them.  (It's coming, though.  I
recently dropped by a university I used to work for, and someone who
goes back even farther than I do there says there are now people trying
to get them to build a completely private (totally off the net) email
system so they'll have usable internal email.)
