What does international jurisdiction mean


 It means incorporation under international law, and not US law as present.

Okay don't mind my legal illiteracy, does this mean incoporation under a body like UN? how does/will this work in a normal circumstances; How does the registration of a company name work when a country is not the source of registration?

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.

Okay so you are referring to a separate body that does what NTIA currently does? If i may ask, why do you really think you could trust this new body that will oversight on ICANN; who will oversight this new body you propose?
 

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 board has oversight on the organization. Seats on the board is filled by various SO/AC and also by external people who are not affiliated with various SO/AC(nomcom selected members). So my point was that there is already some level of external oversight by the virtue of board's composition.


 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?

I hope my responses above now helps

Best, parminder
