This is interesting. So you say now ICANN may go anywhere it
wishes to, it is upto the ICANN to do so. Hopefully, ICANN should
apply to move to whichever country that gives it jurisdictional/
legal immunity through some national level instrument (Switzerland
?), although finally some kind of international legal framework
for sorting disputes etc will still be needed.<br>
<br>
So, ICANN should tell the US that either it brings up a special
legislation protecting it from US jurisdiction etc (not sure if
this is constitutionally possible) or it moves to another place
from where such an offer comes..<br>
