    Paul, please elaborate on your cryptic message.. What is "this" that
    the ICANN chair had no idea that we continue to discuss? And what
    was it that he "made clear"? What implications has that for our
    work? You should excuse us those who were not at Copenhagen to be
    wondering about all this...<br>

          We have been over this many times, but I simply cannot  let
          pass this absurd proposition that India, for instance, has a
          comparable jurisdictional leverage over ICANN to US. I do not
          know why, even as a lawyer, you keep on making it.<br>
          <br>
          And if indeed it was so, why not then lets have ICANN be moved
          to India or Switzerland.. US can still keep exercising its
          jurisdiction over ICANN, as you argue it will be able to, and
          all others can be happy too! <br>
          <br>
          Meanwhile, it is not just the matter of a court exercising
          jurisdiction, but even more importantly of having leverage to
          enforce its writ.... <br>
          <br>
          As to the "substantial contacts" argument, if you go through
          the various court cases involving ICANN, you will see that
          wherever possible ICANN has denied "substantial contacts" is
          all places other than California, US, arguing that  its role
          in the DNS stops with making a contract with a registry, which
          contract is deemed to have been made in California and is
          subject to its laws. Rest, downstream in the DNS, is none of
          ICANN's business...<br>

              <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><br>
                It is absolutely significant that<br>
                <br>
                (1) In the only documented case which went before a non
                US court, ICANN promptly contested the court's
                jurisdiction. This is fact was its primary argument as
                far as I can see from the case details.<br>
                <br>
                (2) In none of more than 20 other documents cases, all
                in US courts, ICANN ever contested -- in the slightest
                --  the court's jurisdiction over ICANN or the matter
                under consideration.  <br>
                <br>
                It clearly shows that everyone --  ICANN, US courts, in
                fact even all of us -- know what is what vis a vis the 
                absolute jurisdictional powers of US over ICANN, and
                thus over its policies and their implementation, and
                very feeble jurisdictional leeway (and even lesser
                enforcement capacity) that non US courts and other state
                agencies have over ICANN. <br>
                <br>
                We are simply wasting out time trying to minutely
                examine facts that are fairly well established and
                normally not contested. <br>
                <br>
                As you agreed with me in a way, lets come to the crux of
                the matter, and see what is this group really trying to
                do, what progress we are making or not making, what is
                the prognosis of possible outcomes, and so on....<br>
                <br>
                IMHO we are just making ourselves believe that we are
                doing something in this group, when in fact we are not
                doing anything at all. <br>
                <br>
                <b><i>Sub-group chairs,</i></b><br>
                <br>
                Kavouss had put the matter to the CCWG chairs of the
                email I wrote about the non progress of this groups
                work. CCWG chair seem to have ordered the matter to be
                addressed by the sub group. Are you going to take up
                that matter?<br>
                <br>
                Also note that Paul too agreed with me that we seem not
                to be going anywhere (or some such, I do not want to put
                words in his mouth, his email of a few days back may be
