All, On our last call there were some remarks by Parminder about the position of GAC members regarding ICANN. It was not clear to me that GAC members actually held the beliefs ascribed to them. We were not able to determine this on the call, one way or the other. I've now excerpted the relevant sections of the transcript and confirmed them against the audio. These sections are attached. In addition to the question about the GAC, these statements raise a few other questions: *First, for any GAC members, is it your position that you agree with Parminder's statements regarding GAC members?* *Second, for all participants, do you agree that only a law that has been democratically arrived at by all the citizens of the world can be applied to ICANN? Are you aware of any such body of law?* *Third, for all participants, do you agree that US law cannot be applied to ICANN because it has only been democratically arrived at by US citizens?* *Fourth, for all participants, do you agree that if ICANN is sued in a jurisdiction where it has an office, other than its jurisdiction of incorporation and loses, that ICANN can avoid complying with the judgment by closing its office in that jurisdiction?* *Fifth, assuming for the sake of discussion that "ICANN primarily is a body with a global government function and only secondarily, an US nonprofit," what is the relevance, if any, to our primary tasks of enhancing ICANN's accountability and determining whether ICANN's accountability is negatively affected by** its current jurisdictional set-up?* Thank you.
