According to the IETF web site, http://www.ietf.org
"The IETF is an organized activity of the Internet Society"
Is the Internet Society a U.S. company or based in Switzerland ?

(IANAL), not in a legal sense. The sense that an organization has
"members", which is the context raised, that has to be defined somewhere,
and we have no such formal definition.
