Worth noting: John Levine points out on another mailing list that
the changes are the same as those already integrated in the .COM
Registry Agreement 3 years ago and that did not cause as many
ripples back then.<br>
<br>
He also mentions that governments seize gTLD domains all the time
when they get a suitable <br>
court order. But of course I guess this is all in the details.<br>

briefly put aside the boasting about ALAC's incremental
involvement in the trivial agendas set by ICANN's vested
interests. Here's a real example of an issue that can
negatively affect end-users. The aims of the proposed
modification may be laudable, but there's too much room for
arbitrariness and too much potential to curb political
speech unwanted by a government.<br>

Why was this not already flagged by ALAC as cause for
concern? Why did I have to find out about this in the media
rather than from the inside. Was ALAC intending to ignore
it?<br>
