Loophole? Another word is "option". One word is pejorative, one is
descriptive. But beyond that, is there really a difference?
Have you counted the number of structural variations that exist under
Swiss law .. a quick search indicates at least ten forms for non-profit
organizations under Swiss Federal law plus other forms under Canton
law. Are those options or are they loopholes?
The existence of options, or "loopholes", is pretty much a universal
constant.
That's what makes this current proposal such a fantasy - it is based on
an awful lot of hypothetical, hopeful, or imagined conjecture.
This proposal is tickling legal dynamite. Besides risking ICANN's
viability as a corporate form it also raises concerns in those who hold
contracts worth quite literally $billions a year. If one is one of the
holders of one of those contracts if the other side (ICANN) undertakes
risks that could upset the rights, duties, enforceability - the revenue
stream - of those contracts, then they one might not be surprised if
they legally intervene.
