I am surprised that PIR caved in so quickly...Baptism by fire for
Brian Cute. If, as it seems regitries/registrars are going to abide by
these seizure orders, it seems they would abide by them if they had HQ
in any country.
What is the solution then? A treaty is not going to fly, no country is
going to give up their sovereignty over ccTLDs or com0panies
(registries/registrars) that run in their country.

If we start from that baseline there cannot be any real global
governance.
However if we all recognise that a global Internet cannot be run
without considerable amount of global governance it may help to note
how much sovereignty have country governments given up and keep
giving up in the area of global trade and IP agreements, and also
under climate change etc treaties. They will have to give it up to some
good extent in IG as well, but the route to it has to be explored and
planned well. That is what is needed to be primarily tried through
various global IG processes. This is an imperative we must all
understand and the global IG civil society has to be on the forefront
of this exploration without resorting to knee jerk
we-cant-live-with-govs-in-global IG space reactions. parminder <br>
