Yes - that's what I said too. But it would make headlines and be an
excellent test of ICANN's mettle. There is a second consideration
mentioned by Andy Gardner on the domain-policy list concerning domicile.
The resellers contract is with opensrs - so opensrs is the
respondent. Not NSI, or ICANN - so what happens when the court order is
presented to NSI. And would an Ontario court have the balls to issue a
court order essentially against a foreign government - it may not be
enforcible. And the costs to enforce will exceed the smalls claim court
filing fees.
