And this is OK, or not acceptable:

"Appropriate commitments by a host government should provide
privileges and immunities to ICANN to ensure that it is able to
provide global service in accordance with its bylaws and mission. Such
binding commitments should ensure that:

* decisions taken by ICANN cannot be overturned by any single government;
* all countries and stakeholders have the opportunity to access the
resources managed by ICANN and its related entities;
* ICANN is able to enter into commercial and other agreements in
keeping with requirements of its bylaws and mission, enabling it to
provide and receive DNS services globally, and
* all stakeholders have the opportunity to participate in ICANN's
Internet governance processes, without being affected by the policies
of any single government."

(I would like to change "host government", best to remove all
suggestion of a host country agreement which I believe would be a
problematic term for many governments.)

Thanks,

Adam
