<p><font face="Verdana">Hi All,</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Having volunteered to be a participant in
this group, first of all </font><font face="Verdana">I must </font><font
face="Verdana">apologize for my absence over the last many weeks
- I was on a long vacation and only recently came back. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">I did not attend yesterday's meeting because
I hadnt read the exchanges on this list and the transcripts of
the previous meetings - thought it inopportune to participate
without doing so. Having done it now, allow me to share some
comments. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">(1) Regarding multiple layers of the
'jurisdiction issue':</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">The main concern historically, and also to
me, under the 'jurisdiction issue' has been of application of
'public law' of one country (including the authority of its
various executive agencies) to the critical global
infrastructure that ICANN manages. It is not just about 'private
law', which has always been much less of a problem. Unlike
'private law', there is no choice with respect to 'public law',
it is compulsory and backed by the full coercive force of the
state. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"> I am not sure where it fits in the table of
jurisdictional layers circulated by Greg, but probably in the
'jurisdiction of incorporation'. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">In the plenary elist discussion, I had </font><font
face="Verdana"> illustrated</font><font face="Verdana"> various
problems with the application of US public law </font><font
face="Verdana"><font face="Verdana">(including the authority of
its various executive agencies)</font> to ICANN. I do not want
to repeat them here. My question to the group, and specifically
its chairs, is; are we considering this issue of application of
US public law to ICANN, and the problems that it may cause with
respect to its policy processes, and being able to appropriately
carry out its global governance role? <br>
</font></p>
<p>(2) On the other much discussed issue of 'gap analysis':</p>
<p>I completely agree with those who have said here that with
respect to 'whether Californian law has any significant gaps
regarding appropriate and satisfactory carrying out of new
accountability processes' there really is not much to discuss.
These processes were specifically constructed out of the
possibilities contained in Californian law, by experienced legal
experts, and repeatedly analysed and tested by them, and then by
others. <br>
</p>
<p>Is there anyone here who seriously thinks that there could be
gaps with regard to Californian law in operationalising the new
accountability processes? I really want to know. Let us spend time
only on such issues where there is some real, stated concern. And
if there is none, as I suspect in this case (happy to be
corrected, but with a precise statement of concern), lets move on
and not waste precious time. <br>
</p>
<p>The focus of 'gap analysis' should be elsewhere. Our <a
href="At+this+point+in+the+CCWG-Accountability%92s+work,+the+main+issues+that+need+to+be+investigated+within+Work+Stream+2+relate+to+the+influence+that+ICANN%92s+existing+jurisdiction+may+have+on+the+actual+operation+of+policies+and+accountability+mechanisms.">early

id="docs-internal-guid-4c30cf9a-99ef-4095-baed-db0f622ba7d8">At
this point in the CCWG-Accountability’s work, the main issues
that need to be investigated within Work Stream 2 relate to the
influence that ICANN’s existing jurisdiction may have on the
actual operation of policies and accountability mechanisms."</span></p>
<p>IMHO it is not so much the influence of ICANN's existing
jurisdiction on "accountability mechanisms" that needs to be
probed (though happy to hear the contrary case with clear
statement of concerns and issues). What is needed is to examine
the influence of ICANN's existing jurisdiction as on "actual
operation of policies". <br>
</p>
<p>Accordingly, let me give a very brief but illustrated outline of
the kind of gaps, issues and concerns that come up here. <br>
</p>
<p>A US court deciding that .xxx delegation violates US competition
laws, and is therefore nullified, directly impacts "actual
operation of ICANN policies", in the sense that though the current
delegation of .xxx is as per ICANN policies it cannot really be
operationalised. <br>
</p>
<p>Similar interference with "actual operation of ICANN policies"
could be caused by some new action by the US Office of Foreign
Assets Control. Or, of the FCC having a rethink some time later
(as it did in reclassification of Internet as title 2) that it
needs to reverse its forbearance on Internet addressing issues.
Or, US Customs forcing ICANN to seize the gTLD of a Spanish sports
streaming company or of an Indian generic drug company for alleged
being foul of US intellectual property standards (even when the
primary business of these companies is not in the US), and so
on.......... <br>
</p>
<p>I think these are the gaps in the current jurisdictional
structure around the ICANN which (adversely) influences its
"actual operation of policies". These are the sort of things that
are most salient vis a vis the jurisdiction issue, which IMHO we
should be discussing. <br>
</p>
<p>(The issue of jurisdiction as related to the application of
private/ contract law to various ICANN activities may also be
important. But the likely remedies for possible concerns in this
regard are easily agreed to. I dont think there are any
differences here about it. If there indeed are, I would like to
hear them. In fact, to first know the statement(s) of problem in
this regard. )</p>
<p>In short, what I am saying is, lets be clear about the key issues
and problems that this group actually faces, list the clear nature
of the problems, and then seek their possible resolution. And, if
they cannot be resolved, just conclude so. <br>
</p>
<p>Hope this is useful. <br>
