Actually, Vittorio, if you remember, I made an investigation in that 
case, and we've found out exactly what was happening, there were 
proposal for solution of the problem, but the Macedonian ISP never 
responded to the dozen of messages I personally sent them.
I don't think anything would have been different, if ICANN was 
working under different law.
I see here mixture of different cases, and because some of them are 
not relevant to what you discuss, you're losing ground for your proper cause.
The decision of the registar is purely a business one; it's the task 
of the Macedonians to find a way to work with that, and I can give 
you several such solutions.

best,
veni
