Jorge, I am not a lawyer and I think many others in the WT are also non-lawyers, so I am trying to clarify the reach of the laws you have specified and understand this better. Kind regards, Martin Sent from my iPhone

Hi Martin
is that a legal assessment?
As you know, the DNS is global, so a monopolization of say .luzern would have effects in Switzerland and beyond.
The legal challenge would for sure affect the delegation of .luzern worldwide.
ICANN is bound to respect applicable local law.

Jorge

Sorry for the message being cut short, here is the last piece:
That would seem to provide the National government the ability to have control over if/who/how a geo TLD could be operated by a local entity. It would not, however, have an impact on an entity outside their jurisdiction that applies for the string, although could use the objection process if it had strong concerns with the application.
Please correct if I have not stated this properly.
Kind regards,
Martin
