[CPWG] Are Blockchain Domains within the Mission of ICANN - WAS RE: Questions to the board about distributed DNS

[Bill Jouris]

The core of the question seems to be this: Is ICANN's remit just to administer the DNS? Or is the DNS merely the tool that ICANN uses, for the moment, to administer domain names -- domain names being our remit?  
If the former, then Blockchain Domains are out of ICANN's scope.  If the latter, they are in scope.  From this all else follows.
