With respect to ICANN legal’s understanding of the definition<br class="">of “applicable law”:<br class=""><br class="">a. Has ICANN legal developed an understanding of the meaning of<br class="">the term “applicable law”?<br class=""><br class="">b. If so, does that understanding apply in the context of the new<br class="">bylaw at Article 1.2(b)(viii)?<br class=""><br class="">c. Would the following definition of “applicable law,” currently<br class="">under consideration by the CCWG WS2 Sub-Team on Human Rights, be<br class="">consistent with either or both of those?:<br class=""><br class=""><quote>: Applicable law refers to the body of law that binds<br class="">ICANN at any given time, in any given circumstance and in any relevant<br class="">jurisdiction. It consists of statutes, rules, regulations, etcetera,<br class="">as well as judicial opinions, where appropriate. It is a dynamic<br class="">concept inasmuch as laws, regulations, etcetera, change over time.<br class="">Applicable law can have disparate impacts on ICANN around the globe:<br class="">for example, if ICANN employs personnel in different jurisdictions<br class="">then it must observe the appropriate labour laws in those various<br class="">locales. Applicable law is thus a large body of law that eludes our<br class="">ability to catalogue, but it is ascertainable in the context of a<br class="">specific question or issue. </quote><br class=""><br class="">d. Please share the applicable understanding(s).<br class=""><br class="">2. In the view of ICANN legal, what does the term “Respect” mean<br class="">according to the bylaws (in relation to Core Values)?<br class=""><br class="">3. In the view of ICANN legal, what is the relationship between<br class="">core values and commitments in general; and the HR core value and<br class="">commitments in particular?<br class=""><br class="">4. In the view of ICANN legal, how does the balancing process<br class="">between core values, as described in the bylaws, take place? Is it<br class="">documented?<br class=""><div class="">
