We formulate it as a collateral damage argument. The DNS root is an essential facility to the functioning of the global Internet, and it is better for people in a sanctioned country (most of whom are innocent parties) to have Internet access. Taking away Internet access harms the general public more than it harms the sanction targets.

It was a genuine comment.
If you are making an application for a General Licence you will have to formulate it quite differently than "we don't like the USA foreign policy" since it is the USA that will accept or decline the application.

I'm sure that formulation will go down well on the OFAC General License application form, and with Ted Cruz . . .
Nigel, I will respectfully urge you to give up your cryptic one liners, most of which we from the non english non-western world are unable to understand. Neither does the sarcasm contained therein contribute to what is a very serious exercise of global responsibility that we are trying to undertake here. Please be very clear and explicit in whatever you want to say, and try simple and plain english, with fewer idioms and situated facts rooted in western culture.....
As for what I understand from your above remark, if your suggestion is that we, of the non US world, play nice and deferential to every quirk and detail of the US nation and state, let me make it very clear that I have no such intention. I much respect the US nation and state, but then so do I respect every other country, and the democratic rights of their citizens.

And what will ICANN then be immune from?
Milton put it nicely, to quote, "...from the vagaries of U.S. foreign policy or other laws and policies that would circumvent ICANN's accountability to its global MS community."
