A sovereign person or group of sovereign persons is not a legal entity? Since when?

Brian,
I think you are right.  Other groups, such as Name.space (https://rally.org/namespace)  have always had a legal body to stand on; and have used it.  This is a great community, of which I have faded in and out of over the last 10 years, but have always kept in my list of DNS servers -- not for the actual content, or domain names offered, but because it's community-run and under its own authority.

We have no legal standing when the time comes to actually challenge ICANN.
Dontations are hard to come by if there's not some legal entity that
exists, people (for the most part) aren't just going to send us money.
Without some sort of legal entity representing us, we are just a hobbyist
group.  Which might be fine for some.
