<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">On the call I noted some comments in the nature of clarification and Leon asked if I would suggest some revisions on list and here below are my thoughts.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">First, however, two important points.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">One, I will separately send a copy of this memo to Niels ten Oever, one of the rapporteurs of the HR Sub-Team who is handling this matter for the sub-team. I will ask Niels to contact us through Leon rather quickly if
he has any issue with any of this. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">And, two, recall that I am a member of the HR Sub-team and have taken an active position on the nature of “respect” and the meaning of “applicable law” in the team. There are other views than mine and they have been
reasonably expressed - the discussion is not ended. So I come at this with a point of view, nonetheless I have endeavored to make these “tweaked” questions fair and in keeping with the questions originally posed by Niels.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Here is how I suggest we handle these questions and forward them to ICANN legal:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</span></span></span><![endif]><span lang="EN-US"><Quote>: Applicable law refers to the body of law that binds ICANN at any given time, in any given circumstance and in any relevant jurisdiction. It consists of statutes, rules, regulations, etcetera, as well
as judicial opinions, where appropriate. It is a dynamic concept inasmuch as laws, regulations, etcetera, change over time. Applicable law can have disparate impacts on ICANN around the globe: for example, if ICANN employs personnel in different jurisdictions
then it must observe the appropriate labour laws in those various locales. Applicable law is thus a large body of law that eludes our ability to catalogue, but it is ascertainable in the context of a specific question or issue. <Quote><o:p></o:p></span></p>
