Here and here. ICANN seems suddenly and uncharacteristically opposed to lawyers controlling the namespace. -g

The articles in silcon.com, for which fnord provides links above, are well worth reading. According to silicon.com, CENTR
ccTLDs are unwilling to remit their ICANN-designated payments unless ICANN enters into binding service level
agreements, covering root zone maintenance, under which it would be subject to actual cash damages if it didn't
perform up to spec. ICANN, the articles continue, is unwilling to go along. Says Stuart Lynn: "We're not going to talk
about contracts. Our lawyers have advised that it would open us up to liability, which we are not prepared to do."

Coverage from ComputerWorld. Funny that ICANN takes unto itself the responsibility for security and stability of the internet addressing system (to the temporary exclusion of all else), but when it comes to actually accepting that responsibility in a legal sense it would rather run and hide. -g
