[CCWG-ACCT] CCWG-Accountability Jurisdiction Subgroup Questions for ICANN Legal

[Sam Lanfranco]

Greg,


As an economist, and not a lawyer, I am just wondering here. Is there 
potential for ICANN liability arising in multiple legal jurisdictions 
because of (a) ICANN contracts with registrars and registries, and (b) 
possibly via "manufacturer's liability". Is there a backward liability 
to ICANN from a registrant’s contract with a registrar or ISP? Are there 
ways in which a domain name can be seen as a “defective product”? That 
would open up legal liability in most countries.
