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. <br><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
