Kavouss,

I am responding to your various emails regarding your request that ICANN Legal be required to prepare a comprehensive "written history background Document" on OFAC and ICANN before meeting with the Jurisdiction Subgroup.  As you know, Samantha Eisner from ICANN Legal is scheduled to meet with the Jurisdiction Subgroup on Tuesday, August 1 at 13:00. 

You suggested this course of action in the Jurisdiction Subgroup meeting on July 26.  There was no other support for this course of action in the Subgroup meeting.  At that time, I proposed that we would start by hearing from ICANN legal in the meeting and engaging in Q&A with ICANN.  The Subgroup would then be able to decide if we needed to ask ICANN further questions, if we wanted written responses, etc.  There was no opposition to this course of action, other than from yourself.  I believe this is all reflected in the transcript.

I will note that, subsequent to the meeting, no one from the Subgroup has responded to your emails in support of your request.  In conjunction with the results in the Subgroup meeting, I believe it fair to conclude that there is not sufficient support for your request in the Subgroup.

Therefore, we will proceed as agreed on the last call and documented in the transcript.  We will hear from ICANN Legal and ask questions. The Subgroup (and not any single participant) will then decide what, if any, follow-up is needed.  

After this email, I will send out an email to the list requesting questions for ICANN Legal, which we can provide them in advance of the call.  I hope that you will contribute to this effort.

Please note that there are times when professional and personal obligations may prevent from responding to ICANN-related emails as quickly as I might wish.  As with all of my ICANN activities, I am acting as Rapporteur entirely on a volunteer basis, which is only possible if I meet my obligations to my employer and our clients, devote some time to my family, and attend to other responsibilities that may be pressing at any given time.

I look forward to your continued contributions to the work of the Jurisdiction Subgroup.

Best regards,

Greg Shatan

Dear Grec, I have no problem for moving that meeting by one day to Tuseday.
But I insist that before the meeting we need a written history background Document as I have asked.
I think this is absolutely necessary e to have a written doc. in addition to verbal explanation by SAM ,
I do not understand why my e-mail has not been replied.
Pls kindly explain.
Herb is kindly requested to monitor the process as I will take the non reply formally to him and to the co-chairs that till now have not reacted even though I copied  my correspendenc to them as well
Regards

The time change is OK with me.

 

Hopefully we can devote all of the call to Q&A on OFAC and choice of law and can dispense with the other stuff.

 

We might also provide a channel for advance submission of questions so that the opportunity to ask questions is fairly distributed among different subgroup participants.

Subject: [Ws2-jurisdiction] CCWG-Accountability-WS2-Jurisdiction-Meeting Scheduled for Wednesday 2 August 1300

 

All,

 

Unfortunately Sam Eisner cannot join our Wednesday 2 August 1300 meeting but could participate on Tuesday 1 August 1300 to cover the topics of OFAC and Choice of Law from the ICANN perspective.

 

As such Greg is suggesting that we move our scheduled meeting to Tuesday 1 August 1300 and cancel the Wednesday 2 August 1300 meeting.

 

Please advise acct-staff@icann.org by 23:59 UTC 27 July if you have serious objections to this change of date.

 

Greg will consider the responses and confirm his decision regarding this by the EOB tomorrow to allow everyone to plan accordingly.

 

For Greg Shatan
