[CCWG-ACCT] .Africa Preliminary Injunction

[Barrack Otieno]

Precisely Seun,

The wise say Justice delayed is Justice denied , without prejudice i
would like to understand from colleagues who are familiar with the
applicant guidebook how applicants can ignore the fact that they
signed against taking legal action on ICANN and the court finds their
actions to be ok, is this a weakness within the new gTLD process (
applicants guidebook) or do we have loopholes within the ICANN bylaws
that can be exploited?, i think it is an important point of reflection
as we move forward with the transition.

Regards
