Hello Jordan,


>>  What advice has Jones Day or ICANN's in house legal team given to the Board - either directly or through management - or directly to management - that has led to erroneous conclusions regarding whether or not the decisions to exercise powers on the part of a member can be constrained or not?

I will check to see if we have received any legal advice on that topic and share it with the group.

I think as Chris noted you can’t actually limit a statutory power, but the idea is to limit what the member does via the member’s own operating procedures.   There is probably still nothing stopping the member though if it actually wanted to use the statutory power.   Ie the member has legal standing and can still enforce its statutory powers under California law.

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
