what the underlying motivations are of those pressing on these issues. 
&nbsp;From the outside (i.e. being someone who is not invited to their 
meetings) it seems as if the goal is to try again on this issue having not 
prevailed on it in WS1 which builds the accountability structures on California 
law.

the discussions / arguments I’ve seen about jurisdiction stem from something

ICANN’s jurisdiction in such cases is irrelevant, as if it’s done by court

registry.<o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"

style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana;color:black">Just an FYI for those 
not participating in WS2-Jurisdiction, this ICANNxit idea has been pushed very 
hard by Parminder and others on the list. &nbsp;As we all know, the 
accountability reforms of WS1 are all predicated on California law, so this 
idea seems outside of the scope of WS2 since WS2 wasn't meant to dismantle WS1. 
&nbsp;Further complicating things, there is now a crowd in WS2-Jurisdiction 
pushing for the idea that ICANN should be "immune" from the courts; essentially 
the opposite of accountability. &nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></div> </div> <div>

style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana;color:black">Now for the 
commentary: &nbsp;I hope that if either of these bad ideas make their way into 
the final reports (however unlikely that such would occur), that the GNSO at 
least would stand in the way of adoption -- even if such a stand were against 
the tide of ICANN orthodoxy prevalent at the moment of 
voting.<o:p></o:p></span></div> </div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal"

All<br> <br> As you know, the issue of jurisdiction of ICANN is under 
consideration at ICANN's community process (in the accountability track where 
there is a sub group discussing this issue). ICANN is currently meeting in 
Hyderabad, India, from 3rd to 9th November. <br> <br> Today, on the last day of 
ICANN's Hyderabad meeting, the enclosed statement was issued by key Indian 
civil society organisations engaged with Internet governance issues, supported 
by two key global networks involved in this area. The statement expresses the 
urgent need for transiting ICANN from being under the jurisdiction of one 
country, presenting the rationale of why this is important to do. It also lists 
some possible options of doing so, towards beginning a serious action-oriented 
deliberation on this very important matter. Unlike what is often understood, 
the jurisdiction issue is not just a matter of sovereign prestige and self 
respect of the states but concerns vital matters impacting people's rights. 
This is especially so as the society gets more and more digitised in all 
areas.<br> <br> We welcome comments and feedback.<br> <br> The statement has 
been issued by the following Indian civil society organisations.
