ICANN wont pull spamhaus.org domain

noc007 writes: "The Register is reports the "Internet governance organisation ICANN has said it does not have the authority to suspend the website of The Spamhaus Project." "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."

ICANN has posted an announcement with additional detain on the matter."
