ICANN has a long running fantasy that they are a global multi-stakeholder organization floating above mere politics, and not a US government contractor incorporated as a California non-profit. This will never change, and everyone familiar with the situation knows it, but for internal political reasons ICANN likes to pretend otherwise. I suppose in the current political situation about the NSA there's no harm in the other groups going along with it for a while. R's, John
