[CCWG-ACCT] what ICANN can't regulate (was Re: Board comments on the Mission statement)

[Mueller, Milton L]

Eric:
The interdiction of Conficker registrations was not facilitated or made possible by ICANN contracts. Indeed, no one was contractually bound to do so, the cooperation that the Conficker WG got in that instance was voluntary. And even if it wasn't, it dealt directly with domain name registrations, not with services that happen to use domains.
