Where are they written down and what are the limits on country 
objections to things?  Could, perhaps, a country call for the ejection 
of people, like you our me, from the IGF meetings?  Might a country 
require a person to cease wearing a button (like "Free Elbonia now!")? 
What about a laptop with a similar message pasted onto the back of its 
screen?

I am concerned here about the range and limits to these "rules".

To many of us the prime issue of governance is often more about the 
restraint of power and authority than about any particular substantive 
issue.  These events so far make me uneasy that the basic issue of 
limits on authority are, as they so often are, not addressed ... until 
too late.
