[soac-mapo] Parting shots from the US government

[Evan Leibovitch <evan@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Though our work is largely done here, I thought participants might want a
look at this article about American plans to legislate its own domain-level
blocking system.

Because of the location of so many gTLD operators within the US, this has
serious implications beyond its borders.

Maybe many of you already know about this, but I'm also sure than many
people don't. It's just another example of how any hopes within ICANN that
our internal efforts would curtail country-level blocking are simply naiive.
