Related developement in South Africa. It is strange that they used
the term "parallel universe" as I did before. Forwarded without any
other comment.

    The South African government is not
    involved at the moment but they are aware that some fee needs to
be paid. However it is highly
    likely that they are mostly ignorant on the whole issue and
relevant processes here. There is a
    move to attempt to educate the Department of Communications on the
domains and registries etc.
    However the consensus from within the internet community appears
to be that government should
    not be involved at all. Mike Lawrie has support both within the
ccTLD community and the South
    African Internet community. However it is possible that the
situation can and will be
    misunderstood by those outside of the process.
