<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
I think that Avri's proposal would be a good way to go about it, as long as we do not the circumscribe the inquiry too much. I would prefer a general question, plus a specific component, like<br>
<span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"> <br>
What do you think are the problems, if any, with continued jurisdiction of the US state over ICANN, as a US non-profit? Please justify your response with appropriate examples, analysis, etc. Especially, please indicate if there are existing and past instances
that highlight such problems. Also, in terms of future likelihood, please mention specific institutions/ laws etc of the US state that could be used to interfere with ICANN's ability to provide global governance services to all people of the world, including
in non US countries.<br>
<br>
(Pl note that I have replaced the last part on services to customers in other countries to global gov services to all people.)<br>
<br>
</span><br>
<br>
<u></u><u></u></p>
<pre>While I strongly support keeping the incorporation in CA in the US<u></u><u></u></pre>
<pre>because the yet to tested accountability process depends on that,<u></u><u></u></pre>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
I am happy to support a separate exercise seeking expert opinion on whether accountability process does or does not pertain to private law which can choose its own jurisdiction of adjudication (as most private contracts can), irrespective of whether ICANN is
subject to US public laws or not, as having immunity from them, whether on basis of an international law incorporation of US state granted immunity under the mentioned immunity laws of the US. In this manner, to ascertain whether ICANN's new accountability
mechanism can or cannot still be adjudicated upon by Californian law/ courts, on the basis of making the necessary provision in ICANN's bylaws.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<u></u><u></u></p>
<pre> I also<u></u><u></u></pre>
<pre>support an effort to look for immunity from laws that affect ICANN<u></u><u></u></pre>
<pre>ability to serve clients internationally - be they governments,<u></u><u></u></pre>
<pre>companies or individuals. This immunity should be restricted to ICANN<u></u><u></u></pre>
<pre>performance of its mission in relation to international entities and<u></u><u></u></pre>
<pre>_not_ relate to contract law, labor law or local ordinances on garbage<u></u><u></u></pre>
<pre>pickup.<u></u><u></u></pre>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
Of course, that is exactly what is sought. And that is possible in my view to do with immunity under the US immunity provisions.
<br>
<br>
<u></u><u></u></p>
<pre>I do not think that this immunity can be gained in the WS2 timeframe,<u></u><u></u></pre>
<pre>but I do believe that WS2 could initiate yet another CCWG effort to work<u></u><u></u></pre>
<pre>on that, if the consensus of the group were to do so.<u></u><u></u></pre>
<p class="MsoNormal">The purpose of the WS2 is to make recommendations and for ICANN to begin action on that basis. That can be done in a few months, if agreed to.. It is not about necessarily completing the process within WS2 time frame. If WS2 does not give
this rec, and passes it on to WS3, the same problem will arise; if we would not have begun working on it, immunity cannot be gained within any WS# time period as well, which then becomes an infinite process .....<br>
<br>
Let us be very clear; if we are working on immunity from US under relevant current provisions of US law, we can only recommend, as the wish of the world community. It if of course for the US state to act on it or not. But I would find it extremely strange for
us not to arrive at a rec which in our view if what preserves the global public interest best, and is quite possible/ practical to do, just because we begin second guessing whether US state will actually do it, and if so, in what time frame. That I do not
think if the job of this group or of CCWG as a whole. <br>
<br>
<br>
<u></u><u></u></p>
<pre>But first we need more of the background information, the so-called<u></u><u></u></pre>
<pre>facts. We have to remember that with NTIA oversight, the application of<u></u><u></u></pre>
<pre>some laws may have been different than it might be going forward. We<u></u><u></u></pre>
<pre>need to understand whether that is the case or not, and whether there<u></u><u></u></pre>
<pre>are laws that could now be applied to ICANN's activities that were not<u></u><u></u></pre>
<pre>applied before.<u></u><u></u></pre>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
Yes I agree. This is a kind of investigation that is needed. Meanwhile, let me add, and I think this is what Avri is already alluding to, as now being not under a US gov contract/ oversight, ICANN in fact , in one way, may be more exposed to the full power
of all laws and institutions of the US state than before. It is now just another private organisation.
