[CCWG-ACCT] FW: NTIA blog post: Stakeholders Continue Historic Work on Internet DNS Transition at ICANN Singapore Meeting

Thu Feb 19 18:39:44 UTC 2015

Corporations answer to local law, state law and where relevant Federal law.
Non-profits answer to the same PLUS the IRS.

The UN, do not forget, is a nonprofit itself. It is a Redo of the Failed
League of Nations. The UN and what the UN wants has
no place in conversation here. If it was me, I would close the UN done. It
is not effecting its mission statement.

The RIR's, by the way, are too non-profits, at least ARIN is but not a
charity non profit, it is a business league that collects money from its
members
THere is absolutely no allegiance of ARIN to users. Its allegiance is to
the people paying its dues/bills- not far off the
conversation of ICANN and lawyers 'to whom does allegiance go."

Sincerely
Carrie Devorah
