Hi,<br>
<br>
But everything that ICANN does, has a public interest (PI)
component. It is not about searching for other areas to assert PI
about. It is about finding the proper PI point for balancing the
various rights affected by what we do within our mission.<br>

Agreed! part of ICANN process should be, in a particular
situation, to assess whether or not a particular search for
public interest is appropriate for within ICANN. or whether
ICANN and others can help it find its appropriate process venue
elsewhere. Just because something Internet related is important
(has a public interest?), that does not mean it should be
addressed within ICANN. Also, that does not prevent the ICANN
community from having a voice in the dialogue elsewhere.<br>
