Hi Joanna:

ICANN is a private corporation and not subject to the APA, just as 
NSI was not.

Even DoC is claiming it is not subject to the APA,but we are 
questioning that issue, as is Senator Burns.  The reason for the 
establishment of Icann, according to Representative Pickering at 
the Februrary 8 hearing, was to avoid the APA.  I found that to be 
very interesting indeed.
