Number one on my list here would be issues of transboundary jurisdiction. They are not handled well – IGC has run workshops on this at the last few IGFs.<BR>
<BR>
Further work needs to be done here. I could list a few of the past anomalies but I think most people here are aware of them. It’s a mess, and the country or a company resident in any country of the registrant, the registry, the registrar or the hosting organisation could all get involved in legal action against a site that offends the nation state of any of these.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
The process to be pursued to sort this out starts with the adoption of some universal principles IMHO.<BR>

Thanks, I missed this. Are there any views that we as the IGC would like to add to our existing statement, addressing these two questions? It is likely that we will have one or two IGC representatives present at this month's enhanced cooperation consultation meeting (I'm discussing with them off-list), who could deliver our further contributions on these questions.<BR>
