[governance] Statement made in Plenary

[Jacqueline Morris]

I agree.
Once things start to get politicised, there lies the problem. I don't
think it's necessarily ICANN, or the US, but all Governments can  (and
sometimes do) apply local law to companies to further their political
agendas.
Maybe Avri's proposal may work here, as long as the agreement is well
negotiated.
