What amazes me in all the responses I am getting is that no one is
either saying that the problem I have posed does not exist or it
is not important to resolve, nor providing any alternative ways to
resolve it.</font></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><font face="Verdana"> They are just arguing with parts of my proposal, which
is fine, although I think, while no doubt this is a somewhat

<br>
To remind; the problem I had posed was about the very likely
wrongful US's jurisdictional imposition on ICANN's process and vis
a vis the root server maintainer. I had given a concrete example;
of a US court pushing the well-known over-zealous US intellectual
property law and enforcement to take away the gTLD of an Indian
generic drug manufacturer even when the latter has no direct
business interests or activities in the US... What is your
response to such a very likely occurrence? </font></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>It is highly unlikely, the likelihood approaching zero IMHO.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><font face="Verdana">Should we simply ignore
it?</font></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>yes, it is safe to do so. However, you must realise that after the IANA transition is finished, there will be absolutely zero appetite inside ICANN to make major reforms. I doubt you could get that Community to even consider such a proposal. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><font face="Verdana"> Or, do you not think it likely, in which case lets discuss
that</font></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>If we must. Let's say that your scenario comes to pass. You do realise that ICANN would use the hundreds of millions of dollars in its legal kitty to fight such a court order, right? </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><font face="Verdana">....

No one seems to want to address these key global governance
problems. Do they not exist? If they do, then what is your
response to and preparedness for these? <br></font></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>They are not key.
