True. In the Congress vision: 47 USC 230 (f)(1).

ICANN as a de facto US private agency and a contractor of the USG (IANA 
contract), as well as Verisign (cooperation agreement) are bound to respect 
the US law.

We would spare ourselves a lot of unncessary disputes, and could proceed 
quickly, should we start with a lexical definition of the words we use. The 
constant confusion made between net, nets, Internet and internet, as used 
in different dated or conceptual perspectives, is totally bluring the 
debate and our ability to understand each other and what we are talking about.

I would be very happy would some(one) of good English command and interest 
in the global namespace (yet not belonging to any DNSect) be interested in 
co-drafting an IETF ID on the global datanetworks name space organization, 
as discussed on the IETF DNS mailing list. After considering this, I think 
that to get a consensus base, the authors must come from technical, 
societal/economical, political and network analysis different points of views.
