I tried Googling "Who owns ICANN" but did not get much info. Can anyone point me in the right direction and explain to me who owns .net .org and .com? I know someone in a post said they were American but how? I thought that the internet was "owned" if you will by many all countries as a non-profit organization. Does anyone have insight into this? Thanks.
