[APAC-Discuss] ccTLD Revocation

Hi Rinalia, all,

We have discussed the concept of Governments vs other parties who seek a 
revocation, and see no reason to differentiate governments from any 
other stakeholder group in this regard. In terms of the policies 
outlined in RFC1591, governments are not accorded any special status, 
but references are made to the applicability of "local law" instead.

The shades of nuance of the difference, or sameness of this could take 
quite some debate - which I am happy to entertain if you think it useful.

Cheers

Keith
