I believe ICANN was setup as a non-profit organization to oversee the other registrars which would be for-profit. It's kinda hard to sell stocks or bonds for a non-profit organization, as by definition they would not have any dividends, right?
That's why I asked in question #11 why they have not been brought to court by the administration. This change from a government sanctioned monopoly to privatization was a decision by our (USA) government. If NSI is taking actions to delay or undermine that process, it seems to me that we could take them to court.
The question I have is why hasn't the Justice Department filed suit against NSI for their actions? If I understand correctly, it was a government decision to take away the monopoly granted to NSI. If that's true, and NSI is taking actions to delay the cutover and possibly undermine the government's goal of privatizing domain registration (which I think is obvious), then isn't that actionable?
