Please review you Californian code. ICANN is a no member corporation 
(i.e. main morte). This is why Joe Sims chose it and documented it 
(Santiago meeting if I am right).

What is interesting is that Joe Sims who designed ICANN for Jon 
Postel wites: "in that real world,  ICANN's mission is extremely 
limited:  to maintain the stability of the DNS. Or, to put it more 
simply, to not screw it up.  This is the prime objective, the 
overriding core task, the critical job.  Everything else is 
secondary, or even lower than that, in importance and priority, and 
that includes anything that can remotely be described as governance".

Actually ICANN cooperates and sells DNS stability of the "IN" 
ICANN/NTIA class (see ICANN Affirmation of Commitment). VGNICS is 
about the common support of all those who cooperate to the whole DNS 
stability.
