Dear Co-Chairs, I figured I should create a new thread for my question to avoid any mis-understanding as my question is not in response to any of the 4 "jurisdiction questions" but a clarification on scope of the jurisdiction sub-group with respect to the WS1 proposal. I look forward to Greg's response. Regards On Wed, Dec 14, 2016 at 5:26 PM, Seun Ojedeji <seun.ojedeji@gmail.com> wrote:
Dear Co-Chairs,
As a follow-up to my question on the call and based on Greg's response which I think may be beyond the jurisdiction scope as stipulated in the WS1 proposal. I like to get further clarity for the record.
Let me re-state my question again: "is change of ICANN's current jurisdiction of incorporation open for debate within WS2 hence can be an(or one of the) outcome from the jurisdiction sub-group"?
Greg's Response was "somewhat yes" - if there is an issue that warrants it then it will be recommended.
While I have no problem leaving such option open for discussion in future (perhaps by other group even though it's been discussed significantly in the past), and ofcourse the actions of the new US govt could trigger such need especially if the ICANN Board is convinced as such but that is not the case as as today.
I am concerned that the sub-group on jurisdiction seem to imply place of incorporation is within their scope hence may probably be expending resources on that discussion point. Resources which includes volunteer time and most importantly legal working hours which isn't cheap from experience ;-). In addition, the unnecessary tension(most importantly the political ones) that this would create cannot be under estimated - ICANN just had a major structural reform and should be given time to settle and live a normal life for once ;-).
I will appreciate if Greg could confirm whether i have parsed his response accurately and also provide reference to appropriate section of WS1 proposal to support his response.
Regards
