[Ws2-jurisdiction] VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: Chart of ICANN's Litigation

[Greg Shatan]

All:

Currently the volunteers for this project are (in the order I recorded
their names):

David McAuley
Phil Corwin
Avri Doria
Doaa Shendy
Mathieu Weill
Adebunmi Akinbo
Greg Shatan

Thank you to all those who have volunteered so far.  *More volunteers are
still welcome!*

*To assist in tracking this effort, I have created a tracking chart:*
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oo9oDJuuxFz1UUNaBfHeor7HPhJ5XcRHFTq3hjRltOM/edit?usp=sharing

*Each reviewer should go to this chart, and put your name or initials in
the "Reviewer(s)" column to indicate which cases you will review.  The
links in the chart are live, so you can move directly from the chart to
each case.*

Also, here's an email from David McAuley, which was sent on another thread
but really relates to this thread.  This email contains some good tips on
working with the information on ICANN's website, and suggests that the
reviewers email among themselves as to which cases they are reviewing.  It
also suggest that we (either the small group or the subgroup) get a
presentation from Jones Day, since they have been involved in much of this
litigation.  I will raise this request with the Co-Chairs and the Legal
Committee.

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.
