Fwd: Confirming Meeting with the Board - Tuesday 13 March - 3:30pm

[Nicolas Adam]

IMO, yes ICANN need to take its distance from US jurisdiction. But an 
inter-national jurisdiction is not a good idea.

ICANN's legitimacy hinge on users (writ large, commercial and non, 
contracted and non) and it should definitely stress its non 
inter-national foundations, as well as its non-international plans for 
the future, early and often.

Asking the inter-national question just embarrass ICANN as an org, and 
it doesn't help it strengthen its *global* foundation.

May be I would ask if there are plans to address the perception that US 
has final jurisdiction (implying it does not) in order to populate the 
"authority/foundation by announcement" space in a manner that is most 
conducive to ICANN's perrenity (as beholden to all its 
stakeholders/communities)?
