Makes the process Avri and others are involved with find ways to
support developing country applicants for new gTLDs even more
important: diversity in location of administration is clearly
essential.

Would be helpful if members of PIR's Advisory Council
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.pir.org/about/council"><http://www.pir.org/about/council></a> active in the IGC (Khaled,
Milton) could find out what's going on. Suggest the Advisory Council
recommend to PIR that it move its registered office to Geneva, with
ISOC. And it would be good to get a reaction from ISOC. When is the
re-bid for the .NET and .ORG contract coming up, let's make it an
issue.

Perhaps Bill would like to see what the GNSO Council thinks and what
amendments necessary the new TLD process to try and protect against
similar actions by governments in the future. And we all have GAC
representatives, write to them. There's a meeting of GAC and Board
coming up on new TLDs, this is an issue very relevant to that process.
Ask our GAC representatives to raise it. Who can contact Spain?

And by all logic, a pressing and important IGF plenary topic. IGC is
already proposing a plenary on such cross border issues. I hope all
constituencies agree that an IGF plenary must discuss this issue.

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