What does international jurisdiction mean
It means incorporation under international law, and not US law as present.
and what does external oversight
It means, oversight by a body/system which is substantially different from where key executive powers reside, and if differently constituted as to not have a possible close matching of narrow interests.
mean in practice as I understand that the ICANN board represents both external and internal in terms of its composition.
No offence, but I have no idea what this sentence means.
The entire community also serve as oversight in one form or the other.
The 'community' term has become like ' ether', existing everywhere, and in that sense, meaning nothing. But as the concept of 'ether' was abolished from Physics as meaningless, perhaps loose use of the term community should be similarly socio-politically abolished.
It's good to hear specifics.
My article is quite specific, for the 1400 words that I had.... In fact it is your response to it that requires specifics, and seems to be too vague. What exactly 'representing both internal and external' and 'community' mean? Best, parminder
Cheers!
