+ 1. Just to repeat from the last call - This is very much inline with the stance the numbers community have been taking towards ICANN; we desire an ICANN which simply performs its functions and the narrow responsibilities, based on its well-understood and needed functions. (In the numbers case, as specified in the ASO MOU & the new IANA number registry services SLA) Izumi On 2016/01/06 5:34, Bruce Tonkin wrote:
I personally agree also.

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.

Very well put. David
