[ga] ccTLD contracts

[Jefsey Morfin <jefsey@wanadoo.fr>]

Hi! I would like to point out another contract problem created by Staff 
wich is related to Plan B as it is part of the iCANN TLD model enforcement.

This is the Trilateral ccTLD contract. The iCANN wants for many surprising 
reasons to involve Govs in the ccTLD contracts. They have therefore 
proposed two solutions (please Peter de Blanc to correct me if I am wrong) 
based upon the response to a letter they should send to the Govs (as if 
your kids were sending a letter to  your boss asking if you do a good job).

- either the Gov is not interested and there is a two sided contract 
between the iCANN and the ccTLD manager
- or the Gov is interested and there is a trilateral contract: iCANN, Gov 
and TLD manager.

The letter is a very poor move. So obviously ccTLDs prefer - if it is 
necessary -  that they send the letter. But IMHO the real problem is: did 
you see Govs signing easily "contracts". As much as Govs do not advise but 
govern, thet do not use to sign contracts but treaties.

I though it could shed a new light on what Staff is trying to achieve. IMHO 
an uncesserary quick to be forgotten monument to solve inadequately the 
problem they create. I may be wrong: but I am not so sure about it.

  that the letter is hurting and sometimes very poor business - the phrase 
"American Joke" quoted by Eric was actually refering to the situation 
created by this letter.
