Another two: 4. How would specific jurisdictional choices affect the purposes of the Contract Co.? Are there specific jurisdictions that lend themselves to this approach more readily than others? 5. Which choice of a jurisdiction for Contract Co. would best insulate IANA governance from inter-state political and military conflicts?

I will keep this list open until 23:59 UTC today, and then use it to put a request to staff and thence to ICANN for such "expert" assistance (the CCWG-Accountability gets a slate of experts, but we will hopefully get some expert guidance as well....)

If not, is it possible to make it viable and how? What advice can you provide about this direction? With these questions we should attach whatever is the latest version of the proposal at the time.

I've been advised that in order to make this request, we should have a list of the questions we would like to put to counsel. I am starting this thread in the hopes that others in the CWG will reply with the questions they believe the CWG should put to counsel. Thank you for your contributions! Greg Shatan
