[governance] Does it matter which legal system ICANN operates under?

[Riaz K Tayob]

Techincally I have to defer.

The problem of unimportance is belied by the variously vicious and 
polite objections (I can provide details but it does not matter now) 
from this list to WSIS and IGF where we have the proverbial 'dogs of 
war' set upon us every time we raise this matter...?

My view is that this is a political rather than technical matter... 
swept under the carpet but getting sexy in this age of cummupence...
