I have to strongly disagree that these issues would be suitable for
global policies binding on all ccTLDs.

.nz has spent a massive amount of time consulting with local users on
exactly these issues and the suggestion that the will of the local
internet community should be subservient to an ICANN process is not
one which would find favour.  DIfferent countries have different laws
relating to privacy, consumer protection, trademarks so the whole
notion of global policies over all 245 ccTLDs is never going to
happen.
