<div dir="ltr">Not really Seun. I meant what are the Internet principles ICANN imbibes or endorses by virtue of it being trans-national institution involved in IG matters.

<br>
Since ICANN is Community just like the IETF, my thoughts are it should<br>
define and adopt the principles it beleives in. I agree with you on<br>
the second answer.<br>
