-----Original Message----- The current bylaw language quite clearly says not only that ICANN can make such a rule, but that making rules of this sort is part of ICANN's mission. By restricting the policy making throughout the tree to the contractual relationships ICANN actually has, we stop making this about where in the DNS the name appears and turn it into a normal contractual obligation. This gets away from the notion of ICANN-as-regulator.
