Imran,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>the beauty of the system is that you can go to an ICANN meeting or submit propossals through the online fora and fix the part you don't like. It seems that you would like a. for ICANN to do the arbitration itself instead of through expert bodies, and b.
for ccTLDs to be bound by contracts. These are pretty clear propositions.</div>

Gurmurty, (no, I won't call you Guru, sorry),<br>
<br>
ICANN takes care of a number of public-interest issues (e.g. registry and registrar contract compliance, usually in benefit of the registrant and final user) *within its restricted mission*. ICANN management has also introduced criteria for new-gTLD contestants
to make a statement in favor of compliance with public interest and, guess what, some companies have refused, and make it look like the community is in protest through known speakers and writers.<br>
<br>
Not so long ago, controversies were based on the perception that ICANN engaged in "mission creep", a colorful analogy based on materials science that refers to expansion of activities beyond the mandated mission. Is it now going to go in the opposite direction?
<br>
<br>
If taxation is a concern what is the idea here? (trying to get something concrete though my hopes are low): that ICANN should mandate corporations what to do with their tax-paying behavior? That ICANN not allow business - say for example domain name registration
in gTLD and ccTLD registries through accredited registrars - unless they are paying taxes the way someone (not the tax authority in the companies' countries of incorporation) likes?
<br>
<br>
Do you have a workable alternative consistent with the often-made claim that ICANN stick strictly to its technical coordination mission?<br>
<br>

Who should take care of the public interest aspects, if you think ICANN<br>
should not do it? What is your view?<br>
