Dear all, there has been quite some discussion about whether or not ccTLD delegations and redelegations (Nigel, I know it is technically not a relegation :-)) should be worked on as issues for the jurisdiction sub team. This is a particularly sensitive issue for different reasons. Not all ccTLD operators are part of the ccNSO and therefore ICANN, let alone our group,and we cannot establish rules for disputes that affect those ccTLDs. Further, when we worked on the “judiciary building block“ in our accountability system, we explicitly limited our work to issues not related to ccTLD (re)delegations. Therefore, we made it part of our recommendations that the ccNSO would develop a policy for this.. ccNSO representatives have made it abundantly clear that we must not step over this line and try to impose on them. We could check with the ccNSO leadership, but given the discussions at the time I strongly believe that the ccNSO’s support for WS1 recommendations was based on this very demarcation in our recommendations. In addition to that, one of our main principles for WS2 is not to undo work that has been done in WS1. Working on (re)delegation issues for ccTLDs would violate that rule. I hope this helps. Best, Thomas
