[Ws2-jurisdiction] ICANN litigation review in the case entitled KARL AUERBACH v. ICANN

[Mueller, Milton L]

Sorry I couldn't attend the meeting, but I agree with the thrust of Paul's question. 
In this case (famous among us ICANN old-timers) ICANN's board tried to abuse its power by preventing an elected, dissident Director from accessing financial records when California Nonprofit Public Benefit law clearly gave him this right. Enforcement of the law clearly upheld accountability in this case.
