The discussion on Ethereum by Leonard Tan, an Ethereum developer, starts at 
00:31:00. Paul’s question is at 00:42:16. From the transcript:

>> PAUL:  PAUL, IETF.  LET'S SAY IETF GETS THE DOMAINS IETF IN THIS NAMING 
>> SYSTEM AND WE PAY OUR FEES FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS.  EVERYBODY USES THE SITE.  
>> AND THEN AT SOME POINT WE FORGET TO PAY AND THE DOMAIN FALLS BACK INTO THE 
>> POOL AND SOMEBODY ELSE REGISTERS IT AND WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE OR WHO 
>> THEY ARE.  NOW I GO TO A COURT SYSTEM.  I GET SOME LEGAL OPINION SAYING I 
>> OWN THIS TRADEMARK AND NOW I WANT TO GET THIS DOMAIN BACK.  IS THERE ANY WAY 
>> FOR ME TO GET THIS DOMAIN BACK?
>>LEONARD TAN:  SO RIGHT NOW, THE ENS INDUSTRY, YOU CAN CHANGE IT BECAUSE IT 
>>REQUIRES FOUR OUT OF SEVEN PEOPLE.  MOST OF THEM ARE ETHEREUM DEVELOPERS.  
>>AND IT IS A CONSENSUS OF THEM TO MAKE ANY CHANGES.  SO IT IS POSSIBLE, BUT IT 
>>IS GOING TO BE A VERY DIFFICULT THING TO DO.
