big issue with including "purpose" and "role". However, I do think these terms are different in nature from the defined Mission, and from each other. Purpose can be traced back to, and is essentially defined in Article 2 of the ICANN Articles of Incorporation;
as such, it is similar to Mission in specificity. Role on the other hand is completely ambiguous and undefined.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
