Re: [ga-sys] Territorial approach to privacy issues

[Eric Dierker <eric@hi-tek.com>]

No Bill you miss my point;

I hate the abuse of power over the individual and that certainly is what the UDRP and
the Privacy matters are all about - and make no mistake they are  intertwined quite
intentionally. I just would like a shift of power toward the sovereignty of countries.
Trips, GATT and WTO do not require such abuses of individual rights in order to
maintain trading status.

Perhaps to do this we must shift the econnomic focus off the gTLDs and put it on the
ccTLDs - I know our State and Trade departments are all behind this as is the DoC it is
just that it is not their place to interfere, free market must reign.

ps. the monopoly structure of Verisign is a side issue.
