The aroma of BS is pretty intense here. There was a press release
last week saying that she'd filed the case, and no Federal court would
rule in a week. I've been looking for the case in PACER, and don't see
anything filed this year against ICANN so the case doesn't even exist.
Further clues:
* ICANN has no agreement with Iran for .ir nor the new IDN domain, so
.ir pays ICANN nothing.
* Address space for Iranian networks come from RIPE, not ICANN. If Iran
pays any address space maintenance fees, they'd go to RIPE, which is in
Europe, not in the U.S.
R's,
John
