Why would you say that Seun – it is what the lawyers for ICANN argued, but there is no evidence that the Canadian court agree to that submission. I would expect ICANN’s lawyers to make that argument and I would also expect based on what little I know of Canadian law that in the end the court would have rejected the argument.

The following text makes that quite clear: "Defendant ICANN asserted that the Court lacked jurisdiction because (quoting the argument): ICANN is not resident in Ontario The Action has no real or substantial connection to Ontario Virtually all the evidence and witnesses are in California" I am not a lawyer but perhaps it may be good to know how flexible it is for non-US customer of ICANN to legally engage/challenge ICANN in her place of incorporation. The impact of this on US-banned countries may also be a good to know.

It’s an interesting case because it was the only one documented as submitted in front of a non-US court. However it was settled before it reached the decision stage.
