Hi,
SNIP So, I don't think "the global public interest", whatever that means, does anything to help us to understand what ICANN should do. ICANN should pay attention to its well-understood and needed functions. It should not go adventuring out into global governance issues that distract from that narrow set of responsibilities. And it should not embrace language that distracts from the narrow responsibilities -- lest such language become an attractive nuisance that encourages people to think ICANN has power it never has had and (given the design of the Internet) can't get.
+1 Very well put.
