Dear Greg, dear all

As mentioned in the chat at the last meeting I am sending suggested changes to the report in order to take into account the comments made by Denmark.

The purpose is – if more choices of law in the RA and RAA and also choices of Venue in the RA are made available – that it then should be up to Registries and Registrars to decide the applicable law and venue. It should not be part of the negotiation when entering into a contract with ICANN.

1) Page 20, last line: Delete “(or at least to negotiate for)”.

2) Page 21, 1st paragraph: Replace ”The method of “choosing” from the menu also needs to be considered. The registry could simply be able to make a choice from the menu, or it could be part of the registry’s negotiations with ICANN.” with “The method of “choosing” from the menu also needs to be considered. The Sub-group recommends that it should be up to the registry to choose from the menu. It should not be part of the registry’s negotiations with ICANN.”

3) Page 25: Add the following sentence after the last bullet point in the section with the title “Choice of law in Registry Agreements”: “If a menu approach is implemented then it should be up the Registry to choose from the menu.”

I hope the above suggestions are helpful.

Best,

Finn
