Thanks Greg. I found the document to be very illuminating, not so much for Fadi's answers but for the questions being asked by members of Congress. Of all the questions that could be asked they really do seem to be focused on the question of HQ location.
Chairman Thune asked a question on HQ location, and a question about the Jones Day advice this group received. Senator Blunt asked a question on HQ location that he related specifically to the protection of free speech, a question on the evaluation of community-based applications for gTLDs, two questions related to the protection of intellectual property rights, a question about the same Jones Day advice, and ten further questions broadly about post-transition accountability commitments, structures and mechanisms. Senator Daines asked one question, which was about how ICANN addressed illegal activity by registrants. I didn't see the oral hearing, but I wouldn't characterise this written document as 'Of all the questions that could be asked they really do seem to be focused on the question of HQ location.'.
