JeffM and all,
My guess is that it would depend on which ccTLD that ICANN went after.
If it was say, .TO, I doubt that anybody would get very upset other than
those that are currently managing the .TO ccTLD. Others might be a bit
more high profile so as to cause a stir at least and likely generate
legal action. But if ICANN's policy or strategy towards a policy is one that
allows for this to occur, which it certainly does at this juncture, one has to
wonder why some action of a legal nature has not already occurred with
respect to ccTLD's. Then of course one has to also wonder, the impact
or "Control" this will have on the ccTLD constituency of the DNSO as well...
There is allot more to this than really meets immediate thought, but that is
for a later post regarding TLD's...
