Note: As I understand it, a non-US registry isn't sufficient - it must be under another country's ccTLD, as all gTLDs sign a contract with ICANN to enforce US law.
Hi Kevin, Not exactly. The contract between the TLD registry and ICANN operates under US law which means that a US court can order ICANN to make a technically feasible change to their relationship with any TLD registry. But the court can only order iCANN to do things that it is -possible- for ICANN to unilaterally do. Regards, Bill Herrin -- For hire. https://bill.herrin.us/resume/
