Greg, I was able to see it only just now and have the following
quick comments before today's meeting. Will give more comments later
on<br>
<br>
At 2 places the report notes that the sub group got into discussing
to topic of of "changing ICANN’s headquarters or jurisdiction of
incorporation".<br>
<br>
As I have previously mentioned on this list, I recall no real
discussion at any time on actually "changing ICANN's headquarters or
jurisdiction of incorporation". What did happen were repeated
discussions on possibility of seeking immunity for ICANN under the
US's International Organisations Immunity Act... Why dont we mention
the actual discussion that took place in the group -- however
inadequately, despite many members repeated requests for a proper
discussion -- then put in what was hardly discussed?<br>
<br>
Next, the report says that it chose to priortize the two issues of
OFAC and choice of jurisdiction in contracts among many possible
issues. I just want to be reminded which decision it refers to, and
taken when. In any case, I disassociate myself from any such
decision. But please do point me to the relevant decision of the sub
group. <br>
<br>
I am also not clear about <br>
<br>
"The Subgroup
understands that it cannot require ICANN to make amendments to the
RA
or the RAA
" (said with regard to choice of jurisdiction recs)..... Why so?
Sorry if this has already been discussed, but fell be grateful if
the reason is explained to me.<br>
<br>
I do also note that there is really no recommendation with regard to
choice of jurisdiction issue but just a series of musings. This fact
that no rec is being made in this regard should be very clearly
stated.<br>
<br>
So, finally the only substantial thing I understand the group to be
saying is that it wants ICANN to be more specifically clear that it
will try to seek OFAC licence for all otherwise legitimate cases,
and that ICANN should explore (only explore) general OFAC licences
-- which rec is also made with too much defensiveness. <br>
<br>
And it wants to say nothing on jurisdictional immunity issue, in
fact completely censor the issue out of the report, even in parts
which just factually deal with discussions that happened in the
group. <br>
<br>
<br>
More later, <br>
<br>
thanks, parminder <br>
<br>
PS: Excuse me for the hurried comments, I am at some place right now
where I am very constrained in time. <br>
