  I would suggest that you review the ITAR regulation again Javier, you
are mistaken here in the extreme.  You could also review RFC1281
as well.  ANd actually we are talking about Authentication which
some of the restrictions do not apply.

  Given that ICANN is a California and therefore a US corporation,
using France as a excuse for pursuing the direction in this area that the
DNSO has and is pursuing, even using this as such an excuse, is
a poor choice from a management decision standpoint...

  Some recent references to which I have provided earlier today.
http://www.cnnfn.com/news/technology/newsbytes/136680.html
and,
http://www.cnnfn.com/news/technology/newsbytes/140340.html
This one gets into the "Privacy" issues that are indeed legitimate,
especially considering the recent and ongoing debates discussion
in respect to ICANN are otherwise related.  Thought this one
does not mention ICANN...

  Oh the French are not on the whole "Repressive" but in regards
to working with the EU on authentication and crypto issues
they are indeed lagging.
