    No, I am not equating them. You are just imagining that I am doing
    it. Both hold independently - (1) ICANN is incorporated under a US
    law, and (2) it is under full oversight of the US legal system. Are
    you denying this fact? <br>

    <br>
    A host country agreement requires international incorporation of
    ICANN which requires at least an elementary international law for
    that purpose. Now, if you agree to it, we are almost agreed on
    everything.<br>
    <br>
    BTW, since you have often said that ICANN cannot be allowed to
    escape accountability (and thus cannot be left as a free float
    organisation) then this basic international law for incorporating
    ICANN and issuing it its mandate will also require listing some
    basic processes of transparency and accountability. you have also
    maintained that ICANN should be clearly subject to work within some
    basic human rights principles, and some other such stuff, and
    therefore this international law will also need to have those basic
    principles written into it...<br>
    <br>
    That almost completes it. Can we agree on this. <br>

        <div> 3. Some new international public law (treaty-based) that

    <br>
    Now this is a strange argument.. Actually 2 strange arguments.
    Dismissing some option because we dont have it at present! But it is
    you who speaks eloquently about post-internationalism, and to get
    transnational.... Arent you afraid of such talking about something
    which we dont even have a shred of at present, in any proper way? If
    not, why are you afraid of simply trying out a treaty, many of which
    exist at present. While this one we know would be certainly new and
    unique - but the international system is up to such evolution... And
    we can certainly stretch it, especially since the IG space has
    developed some unique percepts and elements of it own which have a
    widespread acceptability. <br>
    <br>
    Second strange argument is that it will take 3-10 years... Other
    than the fact that we have been having this argument for about 10
    years now, (1) it can indeed be done in less than 3 years, and (2)
    why should we be afraid how much time doing a right thing will take.
    Once we sign on the dotted lines agreeing to the basic involved
    principles and pathway to operational-ise them, we can always find
    an interim structure which is as close to the agreed principles as
    possible....<br>
