non-profit organisation --- I read ICANN is a non-profit consortium, but that it maintains itself from the fees that receive from regional and national registries and registrants paying for having numbers and domains to upload webpages or platforms over the world. It is still not clear to me how these fees are established and how independent or dependent ICANN can be, for example, from US jurisdiction authorities or mandates.
