Interesting questions, but, choice of venue lies with the plaintiff,<br class="">
hence Californian law does not necessarily apply, can be any other State<br class="">
where ICANN has a presence, if I am not mistaken.<br class="">
<br class="">
>From an accountability perspective nobody claiming immunity for<br class="">
his/her actions can serve in a function where this might become an<br class="">
issue, as far as I am concerned.<br class="">
<br class="">
I really do not understand the last question (in particular the<br class="">
internalization part). Never mind that<br class="">
<br class="">
Conflict of laws or Private international law (both terms<br class="">
are used interchangeably) concerns relations across<br class="">
different legal jurisdictions between persons, and sometimes<br class="">
also companies, corporations and other legal entities.<br class="">
<br class="">
This is from the very interesting article at<br class="">
