Thank you, Richard
=====================================================================
I refer to the 20 June 2015 statement from the CCWG-Accountability, at:
https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-06-20-en
The statement does not mention what appears to me to be a significant issue: the comments from the community differed sharply regarding the matter of the jurisdiction of ICANN. Some commentators favored US jurisdiction (as at present), some commentators favor changes in the bylaws that would make it difficult to change jurisdiction away from the US, and other commentators took the view that the jurisdiction should not remain in the US.
This is, in my view, an important issue that should be highlighted as requiring further discussion.
Best, Richard
