Hello Thomas,

This is an interesting article indeed and an unfortunate situation. However
i think its important to note that this isn't a strange thing; certain
internet services have been denied by Govt. in various countries in the
past and I just think this is just yet another instance. While I have so
much concern for this, I wonder what ICANN can do in a situation like this
except to wish the registry all the best in putting up with the laws of her
jurisdiction of incorporation. Nevertheless, on a general level, ICANN
needs to continue to partner with or support other Internet organisations
involved in internet freedom advocacy.

That said, I think this example referenced indeed re-echos the possible
impact that ICANN's jurisdiction of incorporation can have on the
organisation. One of the "thought" that always came to me during the
CWG-Stewardship proposal development is whether the jurisdiction of ICANN
is more important than that of the maintainer. The article referenced here
rightly re-echos that thought (imagine if CORE was the org affected here).

Overall, the reality is that an organisation has to be incorporated
somewhere; its a devil we can't avoid. We just have to hope that the
jurisdiction of incorporation doesn't go rogue on ICANN but necessary
measures to reduce such negative impact should continue to be explored.

Regards
