Of course it works the other way also, if someone from the Kingdom of Tonga were to read this thread and decide they *didn't* want to register spam and porn havens then perhaps it would be a good thing if that government (i.e., registry) had the authority to say who was in and who was out of the .TO domain.
Is anyone at all suggesting that the Kingdom _does not_ have the authority to do that? I believe Barry's original argument was that he didn't think they _should_ have that authority (or, more accurately, that someone ought to be able to override their judgement on the fact), but perhaps I misunderstood him...
