[CCWG-ACCT] AOC terminated

[Phil Corwin]

Thanks Jordan for the hat tip, and adding this---

                This significant statement regarding ICANN corporate jurisdiction appears on the first page of the January 3, 2017 letter signed by ICANN Board Chairman Steve Crocker:

ICANN’s commitment to remain a not-for-profit corporation, headquartered in the United States of America with offices around the world is embedded in ICANN’s Articles of Incorporation, which requires community agreement to modify, and in the Bylaws, which  specify that ICANN’s California office is its principal place of business. (Emphasis added)

Hi all

I don't know if there has already been a note, but it's worth recognising (and celebrating) that the Affirmation of Commitments between ICANN and the U.S. government has been terminated.

This was done through an exchange of letters between Sec Strickling and Dr Crocker.

Hat tip to Phil Corwin who referenced this in another post.


Nice to see one of the more symbolically important recommendations from WS1 being implemented.


cheers
Jordan
