Dear Malcolm:
This, as I think you know, goes too far and is politically unsustainable.
Who, then is to regulate offending or illegal content or services in TLDs with global scope? Who, then is to enforce commitments reached prior to delegation of the domain?
Dear Christopher,
I think you know that this is properly a matter for governments, acting within their own jurisdiction according to national sovereignty, and that ICANN has no legitimacy to some supervening global authority in the regulation of Internet content or the businesses that use the Internet.
Kind Regards,
Malcolm. -- Malcolm Hutty | tel: +44 20 7645 3523 Head of Public Affairs | Read the LINX Public Affairs blog London Internet Exchange | http://publicaffairs.linx.net/
