Just to be clear, I'm not (speaking personally) opposed to this text
preceeded by, "ICANN shall have no power to act other than in
accordance with, and as reasonably appropriate to achieve its
Mission."  I think it'd be cleaner without this, and I disagree pretty
strongly with Malcolm's understanding of history, but I'm certainly
not going to object to those two reasonably-clear sentences.
