[Ws2-jurisdiction] RES: mandate re ccTLD issues

Thu Sep 7 05:01:39 UTC 2017

Dear Thomas,

Thanks

1.In that case you plainly and clearly intervened in the activities and
working methods of  sub group which you and your colleagues have  at
several occasions claimed that the Co Chairs should not and should
refrained to  intervene ,in the capacity of CO -Chairs in the working
methods or activities of the sub groups .At several occasions  I asked that
the co- chairs need to  provide advice  to them and your answer to me was
that " It is not the duty of the co-chair to intervene in the activities /
working methods of any sub group  . But did break this Rules two times. As
I did mention in my previous message.

2. In regard to the substance of your message, as Milton clearly and
rightly mentioned

Qoute

*"But the jurisdictional issues related to ICANN's incorporation in the
U.S. affect, or have the potential to affect, ccTLD delegations. Ergo, it
is within our remit, full stop"*

*Regards*

*Kavouss*
