<div>I recall we had a lengthy discussion on the term "private sector" during our chartering process for the CCWG. It is not meant to exclude users or governments from participation. In this context, it is used to clarify that the management of assigned names
and numbers is "not a governmental function."</div>

There is no doubt that the private sector has been a major and influential component since its inception, but it is similarly true that governments and users (albeit in varying models) have been an integral component of ICANN. Our roles may be different, but
our roots go as deep, and the import of the public interest in ICANN cannot and should not be swept under the carpet.<br>
