[CCWG-ACCT] Responses to questions from Jones Day

[León Felipe Sánchez Ambía]

Dear all,

Answering your questions:

Keith.- The questions were presented by the Co-Chairs at our Frankfut
meeting as a high-level first approach to what we should be focusing on
achieving. They were also discussed at the CCWG call of January 27.  We
then asked Staff to pass the questions through ICANN legal so they
referred this questions to Jones Day. The document are the responses
prepared by Kevin Espinola of Jones Day.  The goal was to get a very rapid
response on some basic questions the group wanted answers on.

Jordan.- I believe Adam has clarified where the questions came from and
how they got into Jones Day for response which is in line with what I have
replied to Keith.

Phil.- Nobody said this was the advice we are taking. Please see this
document as one more input document tat will feed our work, just as the
CWG legal document has fed it. This is NOT intended to be taken as the
legal advice we¹re looking for although in the end it might (or might not)
be compatible with what we need.

I hope this clarifies the doubts and concerns raised so far.

Best regards,



León
