Shambles at the ".pro" registry

According to Richard Henderson [CircleID], the Registry responsible for the administration of the .pro "has allowed a flood of domain registrations which appear to be in breach of the strict rules restricting who can register a .pro domain and the certified credentials required before any such domain can work".
Only verified professionals could establish their web-presence and benefit from profession-related DNS functions. But more than a thousand of generic words have been registered and activated through RegistryPro - names like fuck.pro and cunt.pro.

.PRO will end up as cheap as .INFO if the rules set forth by ICANN aren't enforced. That would be a great shame!
