<div dir="ltr"><div>Thanks a lot for sharing this Mathieu, I guess this removes any claims that the experience would be the same if ICANN were sued outside of her jurisdiction of incorporation. The following text makes that quite clear:<br><br>"Defendant ICANN asserted that the Court lacked jurisdiction because (quoting the argument):<br>ICANN is not resident in Ontario<br>The Action has no real or substantial connection to Ontario<br>Virtually all the evidence and witnesses are in California"<br><br></div><div>I am not a lawyer but perhaps it may be good to know how flexible it is for non-US customer of ICANN to legally engage/challenge ICANN in her place of incorporation. The impact of this on US-banned countries may also be a good to know.<br><br></div>Regards<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 3, 2017 at 2:29 PM, Mathieu Weill <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mathieu.weill@afnic.fr" target="_blank">mathieu.weill@afnic.fr</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div link="#0563C1" vlink="#954F72" lang="FR"><div class="m_-8140582790121707714WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues, <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Here is another summary form for the Pool.com vs ICANN case.
