DId anyone frame that question or alike? Is will be good to respect
colleague's sense of question making. I remember the long discussion
earlier on how many of us were blamed for not knowing what evidence
collection is or how questionnaires are made. I see us going down that
path again.

I have known lawyers to be way more worthy persons than just do the work
of a legal assistant in unearthing old cases of a certain kind -- which
btw it seems AI does better than legal assistants now-a-days. If, for
instance, I were to explore a new kind of a business in a new country I
know it to be a very lawyer-ly thing to do -- of course for good fees --
to provide me advice on the kind of legal risks that may prospectively
be faced by any such venture. Have you heard of such things?

When will the South stop having to learn from the North - -I mean, we
from developing countries from the developed ones!?

Now if we indeed did send ICANN legal some foolish questions, why not
let them tell us that they are not able to respond to them, rather
building gate-keeping devices here which our long experience now tells
us are basically interests-motivated, and intended to keep this group on
the narrow and straight path of deciding nothing substantial -- and
providing entirely novel interpretations to what the question of ICANN
jurisdiction really is, and always has been. I was just now reading
somewhere, fake news is one thing, but fake history is entirely another
level.
