All,
I wonder how exactly the ICANN or the DNSO expects to
exact any authority for doing this, and in particular in
any TLD name space that is not .com, .net, .org? In addition
in that a domain name is now considered legal property,
such a provision is not within the purview of ICANN either.
Hence it appears that this is more bluster than substance,
and as such is by its nature in violation of the White Paper
as it leads to the instability of the Internet and the DNS
in particular.
