There is no avoidance of jurisdictional issues. If there is no Contract Co. and
ICANN controls the whole process directly, which is want Olivier and Alan want, then the jurisdiction is the United States. Decisions _<i id="yui_3_16_0_1_1417259518803_305586">must</i>_ be made about jurisdiction, and the creation of a Contract Co. actually gives us more flexibility about this
