RE: [ga] serious participation in ICANN processes
Hello Roberto and Jefsey,
The problem is a basic one, the company has to be incorporated somewhere.
Would you rather the ICANN be a USG operated regulator, like the FCC? In
that instance, no one whom is not a US citizen would have any voice ...
period. That was the only alternative.
What is an unrealistic expectation is, that the USG would allow off-shore
incorporation of someone making recommendation for operations, of the root,
that is ultimately controlled by the DOC (a USG agency). Given that;
on-shore (US perspective) incorporation is a requirement. The only variable
allowed was the home State of incorporation. That the interim ICANN BoD
chose California, is an issue to actually [under present circumstances] be
thankful for. Many of us recommended Delaware or Nevada jurisdictions, with
good reasons, at that time (yes, we were nievely considering good faith
intentions). We also argued for for-profit status (another thankful miss).
