If I am not mistaken ICANN is a US-run registrar cartell. Keep in mind 
the envisaged SOPA provisions,

What speaks against governments taking down/over domain names and 
content hosted within their jurisdiction in principle (cmp. Art 2 UN 
Charta)? Isn't that better than blocking?

NATO has no role whatsoever in civil enforcement. And in the state of 
collective defense you probably have other concerns than domain names. I 
like Gandi a lot, they are subject to French laws. I can't see how 
getting a ch domain makes you escape from the French jurisdiction.
