Andrew,

Why should a proposal that advocates continued existence of ICANN as an 
UN organisation under US law be posited as a prime example of an 
'internationalisation model' , especially when we are here as a global 
group... Cant we do with a more neutral framing? Dont know if anyone is 
coordinating this line/ sub-area, but I am happy to do so..

Had requested that this be called as 'Internet related public policy 
issues' which is a proper description and also the WGIG and Tunis agenda 
terms..
