Fw: [ncdnhc-discuss] ICANN approves new bylaws that eschew public elections

[todd glassey]

The thing you have to come to grips with is who actually owns IP address
space Harold, is it ICANN (and its ARIN organization) or is it covered in
the contract between NTIA and ICANN?

So any time ICANN changed the Internet's Structure in the sense of creating
or redeploying TLD's, who owns that Intellectual Property? ICANN?, If so how
did the US Government give away a resource of the people like that without
any of congressional involvement.

These are critical questions in moving forward that have to be answered
because they effect everybody. The question is simple, who owns the IP
addresses represented in the ICANN Root and how did they come to own them...
