<P>Matthew and all,</P>
<P> </P>
<P> Part of you point is well taken here. State or local laws do
not necessarly apply across jurisdictional</P>
<P>boundires, ergo across the whole of the Internet, nor IMO should they.
In fact if you recall, I was at the</P>
<P>time you are referencing attempting to warn ICANN that US States and other
countries equivalents were</P>
<P>in the process of legislating such Statutes. My State NOW has many
such State Statutes as does</P>
<P>California and many other states. Where resaprocity applies in the US
as well as in other non-US</P>
<P>jurisdictions and/or Trade Treaties have been amended/modified, or
independently said other non-US</P>
<P>jurisdictions have mimicked or otherwise complemented such US Federal or
State Statutes, or</P>
<P>local ordinances such as the UK in particular has to a significant degree,
than your point is somewhat</P>
<P>muted or deluted accordingly. I have on numerous occasions posted URL
references of such to</P>
<P>the GA for the forums information and hopefully same would take specific
note accordingly. Seems</P>
<P>perhaps you have not fully done so. That's unfortunate. <ZZZIMG

<P> </P>
<P>P.S. I hope that the election in the UK is going well and meets with
the desired requirements</P>
<P>of the citizens of the UK whomever the elected MP's and PM may be.
Further I hope that</P>
<P>RBS has or will be far more careful with whom it enters into agreements with
in the future</P>
<P>given some recent and very recent errors in judgment, See: <A
href="http://www.wikio.co.uk/article/128519595";>http://www.wikio.co.uk/article/128519595</A></P>

<P>I am sure you do as well. However as far back as 2002, I had been
warning of RBS'es business </P>
<P>practices in a number of areas as had Mr. Markopolos. </P>

<DIV><BR>You're right - I won't. A lawsuit over a difference of opinion?
Even under the somewhat ridiculous English libel laws (which, actually, don't
apply to me as I live in Scotland), I see no basis for a case and, even if
there was one, why would I waste both of our time?<BR><BR>As to applicability
of law and precedent (or did you actually mean "legal president"? In which
case, you've lost me) - you may recall we had an off-list discussion a couple
of years ago. You posted to the list about something that was wrong and
claimed it to be illegal. I asked you for the statute reference not
because I disbelieved you but because I am expected to know these things for
the day job. You admitted that there was no statute.<BR><BR>My main issue
with you is your naive insistence that your local law - be it state or federal
- should apply across the internet. US Federal law and some state law
does / should apply to ICANN, as a Californian non-profit corporation, but
ICANN is not the sum of the internet. Also, I don't think that having
dodgy DNS, however inopportune, is a criminal offence anywhere rational, as you
regularly suggest.<BR><BR>Matthew<BR></DIV></DIV><BR>-- <BR>Matthew
