 In order for there to be an
 International Internet Commission
 desginated to settle IP address
 and Domain name issues national
 governments will have to get
 together and write treaties and
 make agreements.

 IAHC is setting itself up for
 truely stagering lawsuits if it
 attempts to derail any of the
 ongoing corporate motion towards
 setting up Domain Name Registries.
 Does this committee have liability
 insurance? It sure as hell better
 run out and get some if not! Though
 I suspect no-one will underwrite
 such a risky and foolhardy group.

 Lawyers, start your engines!
