the CWG Client Committee and also part of the IPR group representing the CWG. In those roles he has an important responsibility to report back to the full CWG the actions and decisions of those groups including explaining why those groups made certain decisions.
That doesn’t alleviate our responsibilities as CWG members of fully considering the information he reports but I think it is unfair on your part to be so critical of him when he is doing what we expect him to do.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""></span><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">I accept compromises all the time, and many in this CWG. As a transactional lawyer, one can't close deals without compromises. As
such, this document represents compromises among the several communities. However, one can't compromise just for the sake of compromising. There needs to be merit in the position proposed and merit in any compromise position -- and in this case it needs
to be of sufficient merit that it's likely to convince the other operational communities and the IETF Trust to adopt the change. I did not see anything sufficiently meritorious in either category. For example, arguing that "joint and several liability" is
not a standard concept of US law has no merit, and there is no meritorious compromise between saying "joint and several liability" (which has a well-settled and well-understood meaning) and saying some other thing, which has no well-accepted meaning. Joint
and several liability simply means that all of the parties are jointly liable for the amount in question, and each party is liable for the full amount (but not allowing for duplicative recovery); this allows for full recovery by the plaintiff even where some
defendants can't pay toward the recovery. There's no reason to choose any other way to say this. In legal drafting, it's important to use well-settled terminology that will not be ambiguous when interpreted. The use of such "terms of art" can be weighed
against the use of "plain english" for readability by non-lawyers, but these are judgment calls in drafting. I see no reason to change a clear and well-known term of art just because you refuse to acknowledge that "joint and several liability" is a well-settled
phrase for a standard legal concept. And I see no chance that anyone could convince the other drafters of this document to make that change. Finally, I would note that this phrase is being used only in connection with the relationship between the RIRs and
the IETF Trust, so it's relevance to this group is questionable at best.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">1. The use of "unanimous" in the preamble was discussed. The reason for this use is to make it clear that the RIRs must act unanimously as the "numbers community" "party" to the agreement.
This is language the numbers community feels comfortable with, and it apparently tracks language used in the IANA numbers MoU (but I haven't checked). This verbiage may change as other alternatives are considered, but the concept remains the same.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

absolutely wrong to say consensus when it is not conensus and it would be a breach of process and respect for other communities to impose a description of their process. The CWG has no business telling the RIRs how to characterize their process when acting
as a group, especially when we would be wrong as a matter of fact when doing so.</span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""></span><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""></span><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Kavouss, "joint and several liability" is an absolutely standard concept of liability under US law (i.e., so-called "black letter law").
There is no point in trying to build a case otherwise. It is completely understood and well-settled regardless of the court or jurisdiction in the US. While parties may dispute how to apply the concept in a given case's fact pattern, and due to the fact
that the US is a common-law jurisdiction and precedent has a great deal of influence, interpretation may differ slightly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, the concept is well-settled and term is completely standard. In any event, the agreement is governed
by California law and any issue of interpretation would be governed by California law.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
