<div>I agree that we should raise this, but the goal of this letter is to secure the webinar. We should, however, flag the subject as an X factor that we will be watching for in the webinar, and the work of WS2. </div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">On Sunday afternoon in Helsinki I presented my view that ICANN’s California non-profit incorporation should be made a Fundamental Bylaw, to sync with the facts
that the revised Bylaws require both the PTI and EC to be so incorporated and for that to be Fundamental Bylaws, and that the entire accountability plan has been designed to fit within and function optimally within the context of California law. Based upon
some of the comments that elicited, it seems clear that other members of the community have a very different perspective and want to address the question of changing jurisdictions.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I don’t think we should be asking the BFC and CCWG-ACCT Chairs whether the question of moving ICANN’s jurisdiction may arise in WS 2, as it is the community’s
decision and not theirs. I think we should be telling them that it is quite likely to arise in WS 2 and that the budget should include the need for expert legal advice on that question if it arises.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
