Hi,<br>
<br>
Yep, that is true. I think we all know that at this point no other
solution is possible for ICANN. One of the battles we are having in
CCWG Accountabilty is whether we put a statement in the Bylaw, based
on the AOC that is being imported into the ByLAw that guarantees
that ICANN will remain in the US. I think that discussion will be
occurring next week. there is every intention that it will conitnue
to have departments in office outside the US. And there have been
discussions on negotiating contracts in those countries. Though the
CWG-IANA has not gone to this level of detail.<br>
<br>
On the affiliate, in CWG IANA, I am assuming it would originate, and
remain, in the US, but I do not think a decision has been taken.
Then again we are still in the process of making the decision on
whether we will be going with the affiliate configuration. I do not
think there have been any concrete proposals on it being elsewhere,
though a few people have mentioned wistfully that maybe we could
think about that. Most of all the proposals that we have discussed
have originate in a boom-up manner, e.g the whole affiliate model
had its origins in proposal proffered by a group of community
participants. there are other examples as well. <br>
<br>
One of the issues on the table, in CCWG Accountabilty, is how to
make sure that everyone has access to appropriaite venues fo the
legal issue. This means establishing a means for sovereign states,
igo, ingos, businesses and individuals to be able to bring their
cases to a set of international and non US tribunals. This
discussion has not occured yet in any depth but has been submitted
to the lawyers, I believe. I think it will be part of Work Stream
2. Unless of course there is a groundswell of comment on the soon
to be draft about it not having been covered. Then who knows.<br>
<br>
The oversight mechanisms however, are almost all modeled on
multistakeholder diversity. The work being done in CCWG -
Accountabity is key for insuring that an aggregated multistakeholder
voice is the deciding voice at ICANN. This is a task the group has
taken quite seriously.<br>

<pre wrap="">Isn't the proposed Post-Transition IANA oversight structure going to be
either a "wholly-owned subsidiary" of ICANN based in the USA or an
independent USA non-profit based in the USA and fully under US laws?
