ICANN is not a legislature, neither is it a sheriff nor is it a judge and
jury.

The efforts of the trademark industry to turn ICANN into all of those have 
resulted in many of ICANN's problems.

We should be shrinking ICANN's role, rather than increasing it.

If you look for the protection of rights and if you feel that you have an 
unequal bargaining power to enter into contracts that protect your 
interests, then the place to go is a legislature, not ICANN.
