personally I support this stance... whats so wrong with wanting to reclaim a TLD representing a nation by the people and business's of that nation
contracts you can argue about... but the actual logic of the people and businesses who deal with dot sk is correct in my view. This coming from an australian go figure...

frankly the fact that Australia needs a E.164 (ENUM) mapping yet the vested interests and squabbling prevent it from happening
with all the major telco's moving to IP based routing and communication not having a open and level playing field is hurting +61 and dot Au registry
The gov not controlling the dot AU DNS root signing process means that they cant do interception correctly and rely on commercial organisations who may have other vested interests...
build a fair and open registry with stiff registration requirements...
you cant go back after you allow a free for all...
the laws of australia only apply to those companies in australia... what we should be asking is how they intend to PREVENT messages such as im.qq.com from being secured
also wouldn't it be great to get all the messages from the australian prime minsters Wickr and whatsapp ?
good old george has admitted it can be done...
EXACTLY - trusting any Certificate Authority means you have to trust all of them (that are installed)
a much better way would be provide an option to use DANE which works by DNS so the domain owner provides the key in a dynamic method (effectively a self signed or CA key depending on the owners pref )

yes you have to trust the root for that domain e.g. .com but the trust path is very obvious
it is also a nice way to distribute PGP or SSH public keys...
WHY oh WHY can we not use CDA files and send them to the owner of the information ?

I wish doctors would send the results to the actually those that it effects, if you want a PR success simply enable this and so many people would be happy hell its functionality even baked into iPhones !
actually the real adopters are going to be the companies that run large public networks
this is going to happen in LTE... with many networks demanding that all LTE devices be IPv6 since it has such good support for roaming and broadcast which when your network is piping broadcast video is a big deal... so really I want LTE modems to push out IPv6 !
