Pranesh, you work with WIPO which is a brick and mortar organisation 
which , in terms of its substantive work, is subject to no nation's 
jurisdiction. It is only subject to international law. In fact all UN 
organisations are brick and mortar organisations, arent they; they are 
physically located in one country or the other without their substantive 
activities being subject to the respective national law.

Do I take from your framing of the above question that, therefore, you 
are fine for a global governance institution like ICANN to be subject to 
US's law and jurisdiction in terms of its substantive governance activities?
