Continuing in the spirit of seeking (and hopefully)  getting direct
answers, Milton, I may well ask; are you for or against the following
statement

"All governments and jurisdictions should have the same status vis a vis
ICANN's global governance operations"

And if you for and not against it, can we put it in the agreed recs...

PS: let me also add that if you have any other questions or
clarifications to seek from me, I am happy to provide them. i think you
need to perhaps ask more questions to understand things better rather
than claim things like --  seeking "customised immunity" for ICANN
involves setting up a new inter-gov organisation. That was a most
astounding statement to hear from you at such a late stage of our
discussions.
