[Chapter-delegates] Microsoft's actions

[Alejandro Pisanty]

Eric,

agree with the "be careful with what you wish because it may happen"
perspective here and with the negative assessment of the Letter of Marque
(for the Spanish speakers: "patente de corso") (the licence under which
corsaires, a type of pirates, were allowed to operate by the kings and
queens.)

So, up what MS tree do we bark to a. revert this screw-up by MS, and how
can we, as ISOC, constrain others from making the same mistake? We need
this at the "global" level (funny enough, the trans-jurisdictional reach of
a US corporation in this case) and for each of our countries. Should ISOC
work on publishing a handbook for takedowns like the controversial (very
useful) reference on the least bad way to do them published and regularly
updated by ICANN?

Yours,

Alejandro Pisanty
