[CCWG-ACCT] RES: Jurisdiction Proposed Questions and Poll Results

[Mueller, Milton L]

Parminder,
I am having trouble making sense of your message below. When you use verbal constructs like "I havent seen not only no attempt to explore ways to stop such influence by you," I can only smile and ask you to untie the knots in your words (or thinking?) and rephrase the question more clearly.

To quote you, Milton, "Supporters of the MS model and opponents of intergovernmentalism have legitimate reasons to investigate the impact of US jurisdiction, because the US is a global power with very specific foreign policy and military interests. US jurisdiction thus may have the potential to create opportunities for one government -  the US - to have an inappropriate level of influence over ICANN's transnational, nonstate actor based governance processes."

 I havent seen not only no attempt to explore ways to stop such influence by you, and many others here, but, much more problematically, strong resistance to anyone trying to do so. Now that you state the matter in this way, it does arouse curiosity about what kind of directions of exploration you yourself possibly see in this regard.

As for your next sentence
"One can consider those issues without implying that ICANN's corporate HQ needs to move."

Yes, this is entirely true. Have been saying this for a long time but somehow hasnt had traction.
