[Chapter-delegates] Interesting comments via Robert Guerra

Another case of compliance.

Research was done by Garth Bruen.

Published the results of a months-long study of how various U.S.-based
> ICANN contracted parties handle reports of domains engaged in narcotics
> traffic. The specific narcotics here are opioids which are synthetic
> versions of morphine often mixed with other chemicals or time-release
> mechanisms. Abuse of narcotics is a global problem, but has been
> particularly sharp here in the U.S. in the last few year. Cybercriminals
> respond to news and have become aggressively predatory in offering a
> variety of illicit substances on different domains.

> In simple terms KnujOn collected illegal opioid selling domains and
