RE: [ga] New TLD White Paper released

["Michael Froomkin - U.Miami School of Law" <froomkin@law.miami.edu>]

I, of course, argued that no such right exists.  For it to exist it must
have a source.  The name is a convenience created by a private standards
body and used on a private network.  How could it become a subject of
public international law?  No one has ever been able to explain this to me
except to say they think it would be a nice result.  But to be legal it
has to have a legal mechanism.  What is it?
