| Subject: Re: [EURO-Discuss] Signing the MoUs

On another matter, I notice the following in your proposed
electronic signing statement:

| I hereby consent for [INSERT ORGANISATION FULL NAME] to be bound by
| the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding between ICANN and the
| Signing Organisations in the European Region as if I were personally
| signing the document.

How does this language (which clearly suggests some kind of binding
effect) mix with this statement of yours to the na-discuss list,
made last Friday?

I do not see any conflict. Both sides agree to do several things, and they agree to some benefits. It is an agreement. The fact that it is not intended as a contract for enforcement in courts does not change that both sides are making an agreement with one another.

Hopefully that's helpful.

Thanks for your clarification,
