[Ws2-jurisdiction] OFAC Application , Sanction on the use of DNS

[McAuley, David]

Thanks Greg for getting this underway.



I meant to volunteer to help but I will be unable to lead this effort due to commitments elsewhere.



I also think this idea (reviewing ICANN litigation) would benefit from a presentation by Jones Day, the common element through much of this. That, of course, is easier said than done and would require ICANN’s client permission.



I also want to note to prospective volunteers that ICANN, IMO, does a nice job of indicating the nature of each link in each case compilation under its litigation list.



For example, a link to an order from the court is listed as ‘Order’; a court decision is listed as a ‘decision’ and describes the court (trial court, appellate court); briefs are listed as ‘briefs’ and described as opening, responsive, amicus, etc.



Thus it ought to be fairly easy to navigate to the most important bits first – it is not necessarily an exercise in wading through all courts documents – seems less daunting to me than it might have been.



One more point – to those of us volunteering to review this litigation list we ought to start mailing among ourselves as to which cases we are reviewing so as to avoid duplication of effort. We may find cases that need more than one set of eyes and that would be fine but maybe going in we can keep each other apprised of what we are doing.

I want to clarify that David is a volunteer, but not the coordinator/rapporteur for the small group that is preparing litigation summaries (unless David wants to be...).  I've just sent an email to the list describing the project and seeking more volunteers (including someone  to be coordinator/facilitator for the group).



Also, the small group's task is limited to preparing summaries of ICANN's prior and current litigation matters.  Since the article does not deal with litigation, it is not germane to the small group's work.



FYI, the article (by Farzaneh Badii) was originally published (in a less colorful form) here: http://www.internetgovernance.org/2017/01/13/icanns-jurisdiction-sanctions-and-domain-names/.
