4b: Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability

The GAC discussed the recommendations of the CCWG-Accountability WS2 Sub-Group on Jurisdiction with regard to OFAC[1] sanctions and choice of law in contracts. There was a range of views. Some members had concerns that the recommendations do not go far enough in addressing current and potential problems with ICANN being subject to US jurisdiction and will continue to urger further examination of this issue. Other members supported both the recommendations and the process followed by the Sub-Group.
