Yes. That's different to this text. 

> This section is about current arrangements, and needs to be in harmony with the ASO MoU.  I objected to "arbitration in a neutral venue", because that is not what the ASO MoU says, and suggested reinstating the text about ICC and Bermuda.  Paul apparently also objected to "arbitration in a neutral venue", and suggested just "arbitration".  I have no objection to Paul's suggestion.

I agree. We are referring to what the MoU says, so that's fine. 

I'm also happy to quote the exact text from the MoU as suggested by Andrei. 

But if everyone agrees to use Paul's text, that is the simple solution at this point. 

Andrei?
