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.

The process to be pursued to sort this out starts with the adoption of
some universal principles IMHO.

Which is exactly what things like the CoE's Budapest Convention, or
several of the OECD's initiatives are all about.

But they don't get much approval from folks around here, from what I
can see.

Dear Roland, <br>
<br>
At least I have mentioned it several times why it doesnt meet my
approval (and that of most developing country actors) . Let me say it
again - I and my country are not represented in CoE/ OECD initiatives.
Do you think this is not a good enough reason? Does democracy and
global democracy count for anything? <br>
<br>
On the other hand, the question I have asked so many times, that why
should not initiatives similar to those that you mention, but where all
countries are represented, 'get much approval from folks around here'
remains unanswered. Can you try an answer to it.<br>
<br>
This is exactly what is sought in IT for Change's submission for
consultations on enhanced cooperation. <br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
