BTW,
in the recent IGF Consultations a representative from aother big country (not the US) has proposed that FOE should be discussed ONLY in the new Human Rights Council. The IGF should concentrate on "technical issues".

Perhaps Jackie you should read the GAC Policy Advice on new gTLDs.
http://gac.icann.org/web/home/gTLD_principles.pdf
And you should read the GNSO report on new gTLDs.
http://gnso.icann.org/issues/new-gtlds/
Both address freedom of expression issues. Both take the "wrong"
position if you believe in freedom of expression. Anyway, no one who
reads them can reasonably state that ICANN is confined to a "technical
remit."

The idea that ICANN has only a technical coordinator's job is a myth
that has been decisively refuted countless times.
