Milton,
I purposefully used "product" since the mantra within ICANN is that
being a "/regulator and coordinator of the global DNS/" means that it is
not engaged in product production. On the point, as the issues around
gTLDs get more intense the old saying "/If i//t//walks like a duck,
quacks like a duck, looks like a duck,//it must be a duck" /will become
increasingly relevant. As for /the private nonprofit corporate form
insuring that it can transcend national jurisdiction/, I leave that to
coffee break discussion within the legal profession, but I would not bet
the farm on that as insurance protection.
