Hi Chuck and Griffin,

The purpose of legal action should be in line with ICANN mission. This does not appear in the document especially the additions provided by Griffin. ICANN should not facilitate content takedown and we have Bylaws provisions that certainly attest to that. Griffin states that:" the purpose would be to determine the identity of the web hosting provider associated with any content located at the domain name and what is the hosting provider's jurisdiction." There is no need to identify web hosting providers as long as it does not relate to ICANN mission and it will be against ICANN bylaws.

Also I think the definition is frankly too broad and I think we mentioned this in Abu Dhabi.

Definition: The “legal actions” purpose of RDS includes assisting certain parties( or their legal

representatives, agents or service providers) to investigate and enforce civil and criminal laws, protect

recognized legal rights, address online abuse or contractual compliance matters, or to assist parties

defending against these kinds of activities, in each case with respect to all stages associated with such

activities, including: investigative stages; communications with registrants, registration authorities or

hosting providers, or administrative or technical personnel relevant to the domain at issue; arbitrations;

administrative proceedings; civil litigations (private or public); and criminal prosecutions.

All the abovementioned activities should take place to help ICANN carry out its mission and nothing more.

Additionally, we need to clarify what we mean by legal authority.
