I wonder whether we will see a similar situation developing in juridical practices about domain name registries: i.e. whether some national laws will develop in a way to provide a different set of rules, and maybe attract the business of registries because of that.

C'est déjà le cas. En fait les lois de beaucoup de pays interdisent le Whois. Ceci est appliqué par certain ccTLD. Il serait important à mon avis que l'ICANN se penche sur les disposition de l'OMC sur les obstacles techniques au commerce (WTO/TBT). Tu n'aurais pas du laisser Bart et Jaap aller seuls à Genève fin janvier. Tout cela repousse trop de chose vers ce que je prépare, le retarde, et posera à la fin des problèmes car trop de choses devront être discutées en même temps. Ciao! jfc

English translation for non french speakers: It is already the case. In fact the laws of much of country prohibit the WHOIS. This is applied by certain ccTLD. It would be important in my opinion that the ICANN considers the provision of OMC on the technical obstacles with trade (WTO/TBT). You would not have to leave Bart and Jaap to only go to Geneva at the end of January. All that pushes back too much thing towards what I prepare, delays it, and will pose at the end problems bus too many things will have to be discussed at the same time.
