... or about this one...


5. TLD Management: ICANN shall maintain and build on processes to 
ensure that competition, consumer interests, and Internet DNS 
stability and security issues are identified and considered in TLD 
management decisions, including the consideration and implementation 
of new TLDs and the introduction of IDNs. ICANN will continue to 
develop its policy development processes, and will further develop 
processes for taking into account recommendations from ICANN's 
advisory committees and supporting organizations and other relevant 
expert advisory panels and organizations. ICANN shall continue to 
enforce existing policy relating to WHOIS, such existing policy 
requires that ICANN implement measures to maintain timely, 
unrestricted and public access to accurate and complete WHOIS 
information, including registrant, technical, billing and 
administrative contact information. ICANN shall continue its efforts 
to achieve stable agreements with country-code top-level domain 
(ccTLD) operators.

... because I don't see anything here stating that the ICANN policy 
can not change. Existing policy is existing at every given moment. 
Today it's one. Tomorrow it may be different.




Sincerely,
Veni Markovski
