The standard disclaimer about not being a lawyer, but this is a proposed
order to be issued from a US District Court. I'm fairly sure this court
can order ICANN to comply. Also Tucows is publically traded on the
American Stock Exchange (AMEX:TCX), so I'm guessing a federal court has
some clout. Further they have offices in Starkville, Mississippi. So I'm
guessing somebody better act to get this resolved more in our favor then
the Spammer's.
