Which bits specifically?
Some requirements imposed by ICANN have no relevance in a country like India or Egypt.
Then don’t use a gTLD domain name.
Where must arbitration under registry contracts with ICANN happen? Los Angeles County.
Unless you are a registry that has signed a contract with ICANN why does that matter?
Which is the exclusive venue for contractual litigation against ICANN by registries? . Los Angeles County.
Surely you're not arguing that it is "natural" that U.S. companies continue to dominate in this area and that ICANN policy has nothing to do with it? Do you think the .com contract will ever be opened up for competitive bidding?
