[governance] Re: Burr & Cade: proposal for introducingmulti-lateral oversight of the root

<personal opinion>

Hi,

where a country resides if it has a host country agreement is  
irrelevant.

my assumption has always been that ICANN could stay right were is was  
as long it changed from being a US corporation to having a host  
country agreement with the US, Belgium and whereever it was based.  
just as the UN, world bank and IMF are only accountable to the local  
ordinances pre-agreed upon, so to could be the case with ICANN.  why  
should they have to incur the expense of moving operations?  isn't it  
the governance regime that matters, not the location.
