Not that this fact is being discovered now, but it still is the simplest
and clearest proof that US jurisdiction over ICANN's policy processes
and decisions is absolutely untenable. Either the US makes a special
legal provision unilaterally foregoing judicial, legislative and
executive jurisdiction over ICANN policy functions, or the normal route
of ICANN's incorporation under international law is taken, making ICANN
an international organisation under international law, and protected
from US jurisdiction under a host country agreement.
