As an FYI, Seun, it is not common for the date of the next hearing to be noted in such an opinion in US court.  The court’s clerk maintains a public docket with that information.

 

FWIW, my understanding is that ICANN has filed a motion to dismiss the entire case (i.e. they argue that it is so without merit that it should be stopped now) and a hearing on that is scheduled for early May.

Subject: Re: [CCWG-ACCT] .Africa Preliminary Injunction

 

Isn't it interesting that a US court is able to determine that delegating .Africa is harmful to Africa internet users even though AU affirms otherwise.

Things like this is what makes some to always raise ICANN jurisdiction issue. Nevertheless, I will recognise the fact that any other jurisdiction court could also act in a similar manner.

That said, I had thought there would be indications on what date the next hearing will be (to ascertain the supposed fairness)

He refers SPECIFICALLY to the African internet users' public interest in the judgment.


As follows:

On balance, the Court finds it more prejudicial to
the African community, and the international community in general, if the delegation of .Africa is made
prior to a determination on the fairness of the process by which it was delegated.
