That's not quite correct, Avri. PTI is a controlled corporate subsidiary of ICANN. Therefore, for separability purposes, taking names IFO away from PTI is also taking it away from ICANN, as I am sure you know. 
So nondiscriminatory reassignment of the trademarks and domains _can_ be a rationale here.

If that is _your_ rationale, it is fine. It works for me, and probably for 2 others. It is not the rationale that the rest of us have been citing.
