I think that would be fine.  To amplify what you said earlier, the 
problem here is that people are trying to lock policy into the DNSO 
bylaws, which is in my opinion an intrinsically bad idea.  Instead, 
we should be concentrating on a structure that allows the policy to 
be debated, and ultimately decided.  Trying to build in policy in 
advance is simply a devisive bad idea, in my opinion.

What Antony is trying to do is, in my opinion, identical to (for
example) the Trademark people insisting that the DNSO bylaws commit
to the WIPO guidelines.
