 and whether it needs to be ordered to follow the IRP decision. It does _<i>not</i>_ put an American court in the position of deciding which of two applicants for the .AFRICA domain are the more worthy. In other words, the U.S. court in this case is not the
 policy maker, it is a settler of legal disputes among contracting or would-be contracting parties.
