Greg, As an economist, and not a lawyer, I am just wondering here. Is there potential for ICANN liability arising in multiple legal jurisdictions because of (a) ICANN contracts with registrars and registries, and (b) possibly via "manufacturer's liability". Is there a backward liability to ICANN from a registrant’s contract with a registrar or ISP? Are there ways in which a domain name can be seen as a “defective product”? That would open up legal liability in most countries. Sam On 2/24/2017 12:41 PM, Greg Shatan wrote:

Co-Chairs and Fellow Participants,

Attached for the appropriate review and submission to ICANN Legal are several questions from the Jurisdiction Subgroup. Please let us know if there are any questions or concern before these are sent to ICANN Legal. When these are submitted to ICANN Legal, please ask for an estimate of the time to return answers, and advise them that they may respond on a rolling basis, if that will allow us to receive certain answers more quickly.

For convenience, a link to a Google Doc version is also included: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HslgBieiTl2LNT1CXNct7ZS1Qi5lZy3r8Y42CVzf...

Thank you.
