Greetings all.
I presume some of you are aware of the recently initiated effort on behalf of the Chagos Refugees Group (https://thechagosrefugeesgroup.com/) to force a transfer
of .io to them (see
https://domainincite.com/29173-group-to-seek-io-tld-takeover-after-oecd-human-rights-ruling for Kevin Murphy’s take on this.)
The prevailing view on a forced transfer of a ccTLD is established in Weinstein vs. The Islamic Republic of Iran, et. al. (No. 14-7193;

Best regards,
Stephen
