The European Court of Justice in Lux. is the highest court on matters of <br>

<br>
The European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg is not an EU <br>
institution. It provides declaratory judgments on infringements by <br>

&gt; Actually, that’s wrong Thiago, but you know that.&nbsp; The facts are that<br>
&gt; .cat has physical offices in Spain – hence its offices could be raided.<br>
&gt; That is true irrespective of whether or not the .cat owners are<br>
&gt; corporate domiciled in Spain or in France or anywhere else in the<br>
&gt; world.&nbsp; The same is true of ICANN’s offices in Turkey, which have not<br>
&gt; been raided by Turkish police and (we all fervently hope never will be).<br>

&gt; Dear all,<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Farzaneh is right in disagreeing with Nigel.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; The .CAT case only confirms that the territorial State, that is the<br>
&gt; State in which territory a legal entity is based (in this case the .CAT<br>
&gt; registry), is in the unique position to enforce its prescriptions<br>
&gt; against that legal entity.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Notice that the action of &quot;raiding&quot; the .CAT registry was undertaken by<br>
&gt; Spanish law enforcers, and only they could have undertaken it (at least<br>
&gt; until such time as Spain consents to foreign officials' exercising<br>
&gt; forceful actions within Spanish territory). In sum, the &quot;police raid&quot; by<br>
&gt; Spain happened because the .CAT registry, being located in Spain, was<br>
&gt; subject to the territorial jurisdiction of Spain, notably its exclusive<br>
&gt; enforcement jurisdiction.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; In the case of ICANN, the lessons the .CAT case teaches us (as if anyone<br>
&gt; really needed this case to be convinced of the following) is that the<br>
&gt; United States, the country in whose territory ICANN is based (as well as<br>
&gt; where are located its DNS management activities), is in the unique<br>
&gt; position to enforce law prescriptions against ICANN, to enforce its<br>
&gt; sanctions regime against ICANN, to shutdown ICANN, to interfere with<br>
&gt; ICANN's DNS management activities. No other country is in a position to<br>
&gt; do so, and this should be remedied.<br>

&gt;<br>
&gt; I think this all clearly proves Paul Rosenzweig's point that ICANN's<br>
&gt; jurisdiction is irrelevant as national police forces and judicial<br>
&gt; authorities can apply national law to particular registries.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Under the Treaty of Rome, incidentally, the .CAT registry has the<br>
&gt; complete right to move it's operations to any of the other 27 Member<br>
&gt; states (soon to be 26) of the Union.&nbsp; If it did that, would ICANN itself<br>
&gt; then come in the firing line from the Spanish courts, perhaps?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; ​<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I disagree. ICANN's jurisdiction is the most relevant when it comes to<br>
&gt; delegation-redelegation of ccTLDs and accreditation of regirars and<br>
&gt; approval of registries. This case does not prove the point that ICANN's<br>
&gt; jurisdiction is totally irrelenat under all circumstances.​As we clearly<br>
&gt; demonstrated at the jurisdiction group.<br>
