According to the GAC "multilateral agreement," this
cannot occur:
1. The Internet naming and addressing system is a
public resource that must be managed in the
interests of the global Internet community;
2. The management of Internet names and addresses
must be facilitated by organizations that are global
in character.
Is the authority of the great and wonderful GAC to be challenged?
