I have always maintained that de facto it was a policy making body, even 
when Esther Dyson, the Staff, Mike Roberts, and of course our dear Kent did 
their best to deny it.
Of course ICANN makes Domain Policy.
And the DNSO is supposed to give it policy-advice.

If it wasn't , many of us would not belong in this DNSO Assembly.

If ICANN now *claims* it, that is quite helpful.
Let us all help it to become globally representative, democratic and 
legitimate.
I don't see any other game in town.
