[governance] Anti-Trust Complaint Filed Against ICANN, Registerfly and Enom

[John Levine]

This is the same suit that was thrown out in Alabama last November.

The last time around, the throwing out was based on the court's
conclusion that none of the defendants did enough business in Alabama
to be subject to suit there.  This time it'sfiled it in Los Angeles,
where ICANN is located so at least the court will clearly have
jurisdiction.

On the other hand, if you read the prior dismissal, it's clear that
the court thought that the case was rather bogus regardless of the
geography.  By my reading of it, the plaintiffs may well have claims
against Registerfly (get in line with everyone else) and perhaps eNom,
but turning it into an anti-trust conspiracy featuring "ICANN
Enterprises, Inc." and Verisign is silly.
