Hi Rahul,
I don't think ICANN is defining internet principles but yes they do participate in such efforts. IETF is the known body that formerly defines such global principles(better called standards) for the internet.
To your second question, the outcome of NETMundial was largely supported by the ICANN community but note that those principles are not binding for any organisation they are mainly recommendations.
Cheers!

Page 22, Section 4.3 Participate in the evolution of a global, trusted, inclusive multistakeholder Internet governance ecosystem that addresses Internet issues.
One of the key success factors says:
Demonstrate leadership by implementing best practices in multistakeholder mechanisms within the distributed Internet governance ecosystem while encouraging all stakeholders to implement the principles endorsed at NETmundial.Related questions:
- Should a body like ICANN define and adopt Internet Principles it believes in, for its policy, strategy and operations?
- Are group members aware whether endorsement of NETmundial principles is through a public consultation process involving community or an internal ICANN decision? Is this a matter that this group working on ICANN Accountability should discuss?
Kind Regards,Rahul Sharma
