in the draft of Principles. Are you referring only to the IANA department within ICANN, or are you referring to ICANN? ICANN is referred to generally as the<a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=IANA+functions+operator"> "IANA Functions Operator" in NTIA
and ICANN and other documents</a>. The draft Principles seem to use the term in places as referring to ICANN and other places as referring only to the IANA department within ICANN--<i><span style="font-style:italic">e.g.</span></i>, in 5 iii: "... policy processes
should be independent of the IANA Functions Operator ..."<i><span style="font-style:italic"> i.e.,</span></i> policy processes should be independent of ICANN? Then who is making policy? Could you please clarify?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

wording (“In particular, the IANA functions operator should not impose any additional requirements on the registry unless they are directly and demonstrably linked to global security, stability and resilience of the DNS.”) turns this around to prevent the
IANA functions operator making unilateral decisions that impact the ccTLD except in (rare) cases of global security, stability and resilience.
