Though the co-chairs, AGAIN,
can we PLEASE dispense with trying to explain the basics to someone who most definitively has not taken the opportunity to do her homework in this regard?
One can also say the devil is in the basis; so it may be important to clarify the basis whenever someone asks for clarification. Its not entirely appropriate to categorise people in a manner as you've done above.
This is a reasonably high volume Mailing List and it is difficult enough to try and keep up without these distractions.
There is a filtering rule in every email client, also there is the delete feature Cheers!

Carrie:
That's exactly how it works, and the only way it works. Remember that the US is a federal system with two pertinent tiers of laws -- state and federal.
Organizations are created under state law, not under federal law (with extremely rare exceptions). Federal tax exemption is handled (by definition) at the federal level. A not-for-profit organization must first incorporate under state law, and then proceed to seek a federal tax exemption as a non-profit under 501(c)(3) (or other relevant subsections for particular types of organizations).
In other words, an organization cannot apply for federal tax exemption under 501(c)(3) *until* it has incorporated as a non-profit under the law of a state of the U.S. [While there are organizations other than corporations that may qualify for federal tax exemptions, such as trusts and "community chests," they are not relevant to this discussion.]
Hope this helps.

Hello Edward,
I'm unaware of any current plan to shift ICANN status from non-profit to profit, although some have called for such a change (see, for example: http://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/technology/227726-icanns-number-is-up ).
That is right - there is no plan from either the Board or staff to change from being a non-profit entity, and I haven't heard any SO or AC make that suggestion either.
Regards, Bruce Tonkin
