any interference by the US state - whether its judicial,
legislative or executive branch, either in ICANN's policy
process, or actual entries in the authoritative root. Since
Internet's root system works by reputation and 'community
acceptance' and not by any necessary physical components and
linkages, this should be easy to work out.. This IMHO would be
the best interim check on the US state's possibilities to
interfere with ICANN/ root file business.</font></blockquote>

In theory, yes, all of what you are saying is possible, except one
thing: has the "US state" ever interfered with the ICANN/root file
business, as you put it? You are speaking of a risk that has been
shown to not exist. I am much less confident of the ability of some
other states to keep their hands off interference with the root...<br>
