Where I'm not clear this analysis is thorough is the consideration that ICANN is a U.S. non-profit corporation incorporated in California. If we are to go with the laws of the land, the 14th amendment states: > No state shall...deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. This means that ICANN, itself, is subject to all the laws of the jurisdiction of its location (municipal, county, state, and Federal). If I understand ICANN's role correctly, they control the entire WWW (DNS, IP address assignment, infrastructure, etc.), so everyone on the WWW is subject to the ICANN jurisdictional limitations. Am I missing something?
