  1. The interesting wording in their letter "We have therefore agreed to issue an Inspection Request to ICANN..."

SO: That section is actually referring to the 5 RIRs which makes up the NRO agreeing within themselves to issue the request.

  1. ​Kevin Murphy seems to be suspecting something similar when he says "makes me wonder (aloud, it seems) whether the ASO had received any nudges from other members of the EC before filing the request."

SO: The letter was actually written by the ASO EC themselves(note not the ASO AC) as it is the Chair of the EC that is a member of the empowered community[1].

I'm not suggesting there's anything wrong with it but I'm always interested in the genesis of such a, as Alan put it, "historic action." Make sense?

I suspect, from reading how carefully this is worded, that EFF is behind this. Very interesting tactic.

SO: Do you mind elaborating further on this? Am trying to understand the connection between EFF and the NRO that you've figured out.

Happy new year to everyone.

Thanks Christopher.

Unless I missed something, this is a rather historic action. It is the FIRST time the accountability powers given to the ICANN community with its new Bylaws have been used in a proactive way, and by the part of the ICANN Community least expected to intervene when not directly impacted.
