ICANN refuses to pull Spamhaus domain
ICANN has said it does not have the authority to suspend the website of The Spamhaus Project. The Register further reports “ICANN’s stance of declining authority on the affair passes the onus onto Tucows, the Spamhaus.org registrar. Since Tucows is based in Canada, and not the US, it’s in a much better position to decline to apply the court’s request. So the threat of the loss of Spamhaus’s domain appears to have receded, at least for now.”
