Not that I don't trust you, but, as you mentioned later in your message,
YANAL (TGNDI, thanks God, neither do I).

Can I have a clear confirmation (in words that a layman with average IQ like
myself can understand) that 

It is intended that Supporting Organizations and their councils will have a
separate organizational identity from that of ICANN, and that ICANN's
relationship with the SO's, to the extent necessary apart from the bylaws,
will be by contract.

means that the DNSO must be incorporated separately?
In other words, separate organizational identity cannot mean a separate
division within the ICANN Corporation?

If the answer is that we have to incorporate, we may have one point less to
discuss, and can concentrate on what Bret Fausett suggested, i.e. start
writing Bylaws (and start thinking about where to incorporate).
