I never said that, that was Dominique ("ICANN has not anything to do
with public interest.") being facetious.

I am pleased there is a PIC being put in place.

As far as international taxation issues, perhaps it is time for an IGO
to take this in hand, or perhaps a new MS body?

I do know however that it (tax havens) shouldn't be part of ICANN's scope.
