[governance] and more Re: Ideas that this mailing list has agreed to

[Michael Froomkin - U.Miami School of Law]

As a matter of international law, the ccTLD is, I think, quite clearly 
*NOT* national property.  I explain why at 
http://www.law.miami.edu/%7Efroomkin/articles/ccTLDs-TM.pdf .

Of course, as a matter of domestic law, it remeans within the power of a 
sovereign state to make whatever rules for domestic consumption it may 
desire.  The existence of such a rule does not, however, require those of 
us abroad to adhere to it, although we are also free to choose to do so.
