[ga] Italy

[Jefsey Morfin <jefsey@wanadoo.fr>]

Could our Italian friends tell us if the decision of their President to 
call new elections was soon enough to block their Internet law project. We 
are quite concerned: Italy has explained their project in Brussels and we 
fear that some European Directive might take example on them. With 
obviously an impact on the global Internet further on.

A very interesting discussion on the ccTLD list seems to show that - if we 
still do not know what a DN may legally be - the registration of a DN is 
mostly understood as a pure service by the registrar/registry tandem, only 
consisting in entering DN holders information into the DNS system. If I am 
sight, on most contract forms DNS is described as a changing envirenment 
and its owner is not described. This is not the way some countries want to 
see it: this may create a real confusion. The intended letter of Mike 
Roberts to Govs (seemingly under the pressure of a very limited number of 
countries) has helped others to look more directly into the Internet 
matters. The Chinese and Italian experiences show that the GAC is a real 
dream: Govs know about governing, not about advizing.
