      This is interesting. So you say now ICANN may go anywhere it
      wishes to, it is upto the ICANN to do so. Hopefully, ICANN should
      apply to move to whichever country that gives it jurisdictional/
      legal immunity through some national level instrument (Switzerland
      ?), although finally some kind of international legal framework
      for sorting disputes etc will still be needed.<br>
      <br>
      So,&nbsp; ICANN should tell the US that either it brings up a special
      legislation protecting it from US jurisdiction etc (not sure if
      this is constitutionally possible) or it moves to another place
      from where such an offer comes..<br>
