snipI must again make it clear...I am talking about businesses owning their own gTLD, in which case the concerned business, say rojadirecta or 'sunpharma', taking from examples I have used, would be its own registry.... And these will be based outside the US. Since these, in principle, are the 'offending businesses' not subjecting themselves to US jurisdictional orders, there is indeed no point in sending a court order to the concerned business (which is also its registry for its own closed gTLD) to close down its own gLTD... Why would it do such a thing?SO: Not Alejandro but I would say in theory that such order may go to the registry first
but could also go to ICANN
Dear Seun, court orders are court order, and so are of the other empowered US agencies (those which have been seizing domain names)... They cannot not be complied with. ICANN officials can be arrested if they are not... Yes, you could contest them (although in some case the contest may only follow interim observance of orders) but then only if you succeed can you not carry out the orders. If you do not, you simply obey them. We are talking of that very likely eventuality. Just bec you have a legal team, and maybe an expensive one at that, does not means you necessarily win all your cases. it would be such a travesty of justice if this were to be the case... How can you/ we go by the supposition that ICANN will necessarily win all its challenges, always, especially when there is a long history in the US of domain names siezures, and the law remains the same as it always was....... That is very thin grounds for us to build and sustain a global governance system like ICANN.and whether ICANN would comply depends on the existing agreements ICANN has with the registry running .rojadirecta. However it's one thing to receive an order, it's another thing to comply, that's why ICANN has legal team who try to defend/explain/educate in such cases (if it exists)
However, I guess your question above still begs the response of asking what will be different if it was a non-US order; will ICANN not receive an order if it's based outside USA?
Will ICANN not receive an order if it's based on treaties?
Cheers!
