This is an interesting question, and maybe some legal expert (Jovan?) 
can be more precise. However, as far as I understand, it's up to the 
agreement itself to define which laws of the host country apply, and 
which ones don't. So I think that there could be a host country 
agreement that prevents ICANN from having to be subject to, say, US 
international trade restrictions, or US visa requirements for people 
willing to attend the meetings, but still lets US law be applied to 
private contracts when no exception is specifically defined. But I'm 
really not sure whether I got this right.
