[governance] DMP} Statement on Process and Objectives for the Global Multistakeholder Meeting on the Future of Internet Governance

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

Guru - I am afraid this is a case of "listening to the Ramayana epic all night and then asking how sita is related to Rama" [or to pick a wider known analogy outside india, read the bible all night long and then ask who Jesus' mother was]

ICANN is already subject to the jurisdictions of whichever countries it operates in - Turkey and Singapore, right now. 

The converse doesn't apply here. You are not subject to those laws either, any more than you are subject to California law because ICANN is a California nonprofit.

Also, do please resist the impulse to speak "for developing countries".  It would be a good idea to represent that as your personal or organizational viewpoint, especially where you may not be able to find consensus for your argument.
