Becky -
No, this is not an acceptable addition - the original language proposed is
specific to the development of the global number registry policies because
that is what is covered by the ICANN/ASO MOU.
ICANN does not have an inherent role (i.e. suitable for inclusion in its
mission) with regard to the _implementation_ of global number policies -
to the extent that it is performing that role today and in the future, it is
because it is and will be serving as the IANA Numbering Services Operator.
There exists the possibility at some future time that a different party could
be the IANA Numbering Services Operator, and in such a situation, ICANN
would continue to have an a role (as in the original mission language) with
respect to facilitating _development_ of global number registry policies (as
per the existing ICANN/ASO MOU), but it would not then be involved in the
implementation of global number registry policies. As such, the proposed
change to add “and implementation" is not appropriate.
This response is provided after consultation with (and by unanimous
consent of) the executive committee of the ASO (aka NRO-EC).
