In the same way the possibility of leaving a state is not practical for most, leaving the 'network' isnt either. And so one is, nilly willy, subject to all the policies that apply to the 'network', and ICANN policies is a part of it.

Parminder - 

It’s also difficult to go anywhere and not make use of standard fasteners 
(nuts, bolts, etc.) - the chair holding you up is likely dependent upon them
right now, and the near universal adoption of same is as pervasive as the
Internet, if not more so…   Since you equate such popularity with "public 
governance", you might want to keep apprised of these standards as well - 
<http://www.astm.org/Standards/fastener-standards.html <http://www.astm.org/Standards/fastener-standards.html>>

Each of these “laws" most certainly "applies to all people of the world” - I 
am not certain if anyone has yet let them know that they are engaged (per 
your dictate) in "a matter that is legitimately an issue of public governance.”
but it looks to be a large undertaking to do so...
