<h2 style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 0px;">CCWG-Accountability Work Stream 2 Issues Jurisdiction Questionnaire</h2>
<p style="margin: 15px 0px 0px 0px;">9 February 2017</p>
<p>The newly-adopted ICANN Bylaws created several Work Stream 2 accountability subgroups. One of these subgroups, the Jurisdiction Subgroup, is addressing questions related to ICANN's jurisdiction, including how choice of jurisdiction and applicable laws for
dispute settlement impact ICANN's accountability and the actual operation of policies.</p>
<p>The Jurisdiction Subgroup has put out a questionnaire seeking responses to several jurisdiction-related questions. The Subgroup is asking you to consider and respond to these questions with concrete, factual submissions.</p>
<p>The questionnaire can be found at <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_UpXRAw&d=DwMFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=mrDeztziKLa7gZqGADzxcnHA3QXmXYsnChWYBR4NElI&m=YQNdtzfAzy4Nna5E4PfmpBEp2uhoPAZKY9rXE-vkEPU&s=7OWeWFxpiMSTxlIgvATJU92Yqzu-YUQegSGF8Cm87WA&e=">
https://community.icann.org/x/UpXRAw[community.icann.org]</a> and is available in each of the 6 languages supported by ICANN. You may respond to the questionnaire in any of these languages.</p>
<p>Responses must be transmitted via email to <a href="mailto:ccwg-acctws2.jurisdiction.questionnaire@icann.org">
ccwg-acctws2.jurisdiction.questionnaire@icann.org</a>. Responses must clearly identify the individual responding and, where applicable, the organization for which the response is being submitted. Responses may be submitted at any point during the response period.</p>
<p>The subgroup will accept responses until <strong>23:59 UTC 17 April 2017</strong>.</p>
