requirements of ICANN concerning accountability: The hard core similar to the gap analysis, but broader and with some escape clause (the “Solange” part). This weekend, I studied a bit the Austrian rules in detail, others will follow.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">As announced, the statement concerning “Solange jurisdiction”:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">In the ICANN context, it would mean that principles for a favourable jurisdiction are defined and “so long as” (German solange) these conditions are fulfilled, no change of jurisdiction is required.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">As we know, at present the U.S. / California is the best jurisdiction because the legal rules support and allow to enforce the complex accountability regime. However, alternative options should be assessed, at present
from an academic point of view. I do not see indicators that the U.S. would change its jurisdiction practice concerning ICANN.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">For those what to know more: In the Solange judgements, the German Constitutional Court held that
<i>so long as</i> (</span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_language" title="German language"><span lang="EN-GB">German</span></a><span lang="EN-GB">:
<i>solange</i>) EU law had a level of protection of fundamental rights substantially in concurrence with the protection required by the German constitution, the Court would no longer review specific EU acts.
