The vast majority of this 8% will be the spammers registering a host domain for their activities. Responsible registrars (presumably 92% of then) comply.
ICANN needs to ensure that the few registrars that are allowing this (also often the same people as listed in the dubious domain contacts) are barred!
If there was more rigorous registration enforcement then there would also be no point in spammers operating since they have to have an accessible means of being contacted.
Does the world really need so many registrars? Why not one authority per country or even less? Why not run domains on the same lines of Company registration processes as practiced by most countries?
