    Dear Jorge<br>
    <br>
    I have to say that I agree with Greg on this.   My interventions on
    the HR working group have consistently focused on the ability of
    ICANN to operate its IANA and other technical functions under policy
    and/or numerous agreements with numerous technical bodies (such as
    ccTLD operators, Root Zone operators etc) in support of a global,
    interoperable Internet.   The wording you propose would in my view
    put this at risk - as I have point several times over the last years
    the Rugge Principles, especially as those principles which apply to
    supply chains and contractors, are well suited to a mining company
    which can decide whether or not to do business in certain
    circumstance in certain countries.   ICANN does not have that
    luxury.   It is charged with supporting a Global Internet and hence
    has to be able to deal with every relevant ccTLD operator, Root Zone
    Operator, RIR etc, many of which it has agreements.    In that sense
    ICANN is not like a private company at all.<br>
    <br>
