The US government doesn't exercise very much control over non-profits generally, other than to ensure that they operate in the public benefit and in accordance with both their charter and the tax authority's rules. ISOC was a special case, because all of their revenue was from .ORG, and that was delegated to them at the discretion of the Department of Commerce. Who can turn off their supply of money has a much greater effect than what country they're incorporated in.

El gobierno de los Estados Unidos no ejerce mucho control sobre las organizaciones sin fines de lucro en general, aparte de garantizar que operen en beneficio público y de acuerdo con sus estatutos y las normas de la autoridad fiscal. ISOC fue un caso especial, porque todos sus ingresos provenían de .ORG, y se les delegó a discreción del Departamento de Comercio. Quién puede cerrar su oferta de dinero tiene un efecto mucho mayor que en qué país están incorporados.
