Yes. Historically trust (and "optics" as you put it) has been a big
factor there, but efficiency is also relevant, in particular that
ICANN tends to move somewhat slowly and their staff, while
compenetent, doesn't always understand our needs or don't have the
resources to provide the flexibility we'd like.
