Yes, the law says ICANN must have members. But so long as the
membership exerts none of its rights, the ICANN bylaw is in effect.
To become a member of ICANN, you must do one of the things allowed
to members by the law. You must change a bylaw, or file suit against
the corporation.

        Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up 
        because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade
        unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't 
        a trade unionist. Then they came for the homosexuals,
        and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a homosexual.
        Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak 
        up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me,
        but by that time there was no one left to speak up."
