Since these terrible ideas have already been addressed and addressed and addressed on this List, I'm not sure that re-addressing them again at this time would prove useful. However, I didn't want anyone to think that silence (to the latest round of trying to push for the unraveling of WS1) was somehow assent. It isn't. We just really have to get on with the real work of this group and stop constantly reopening and re-addressing all of these fringe ideas. </div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Paul</div><div><br></div><div> <br><br></div>

ICANN is currently meeting in Hyderabad, India, from 3rd to 9th November. <br> <br> Today, on the last day of ICANN's Hyderabad meeting, the enclosed statement was issued by key Indian civil society organisations engaged with Internet governance issues, supported by two key global networks involved in this area. The statement expresses the urgent need for transiting ICANN from being under the jurisdiction of one country, presenting the rationale of why this is important to do. It also lists some possible options of doing so, towards beginning a serious action-oriented deliberation on this very important matter. Unlike what is often understood, the jurisdiction issue is not just a matter of sovereign prestige and self respect of the states but concerns vital matters impacting people's rights. This is especially so as the society gets more and more digitised in all areas.<br> <br> We welcome comments and feedback.<br> <br> The statement has been issued by the following Indian civil society organisations. <div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;
