Kavouss,

The start is not so difficult: it is mostly an analysis of content in the various headquarters agreements and NGO acts, with the addition of special requirements of ICANN concerning accountability: The hard core similar to the gap analysis, but broader and with some escape clause (the “Solange” part). This weekend, I studied a bit the Austrian rules in detail, others will follow.

Best, Erich

Dear Erich,

The problem is to establish the solange conditions .

I do not know how EU respond to that.

It is easy to put nice words together but difficult to implement that.

I do not share your views that X jurisdiction is or is not the best

Regards

And with this, can we say “so long” to the solange discussion?

As announced, the statement concerning “Solange jurisdiction”:

In the ICANN context, it would mean that principles for a favourable jurisdiction are defined and “so long as” (German solange) these conditions are fulfilled, no change of jurisdiction is required.

As we know, at present the U.S. / California is the best jurisdiction because the legal rules support and allow to enforce the complex accountability regime. However, alternative options should be assessed, at present from an academic point of view. I do not see indicators that the U.S. would change its jurisdiction practice concerning ICANN.

For those what to know more: In the Solange judgements, the German Constitutional Court held that so long as (German: solange) EU law had a level of protection of fundamental rights substantially in concurrence with the protection required by the German constitution, the Court would no longer review specific EU acts.

Best, Erich
