<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">“information services” is a simpler and more generic way to describe what we you are referring to and has a long regulatory history. As others
noted before, it is dangerous to try to get too technologically specific. What we need to do here is carve out an exception to the regulation band for registries and registrars, which ICANN can and does regulate in accord with its mission.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">The second point, pertaining to enforcing contracts, puts in clearer and more restrictive language. Rather than “in furtherance of’ its mission
I proposed “consistent with” its mission. One might claim that many ancillary activities might “further” ICANN’s mission in some way; it is more precise to ask that ICANN’s activities be “consistent” with its mission.
