Correction.  They are not consistent with YOUR UNDERSTANDING of the 
written word.  They are very consistent with my understanding of the 
written word.

It is difficult to communicate with people who have strong 
preconceptions.  So to them, it looks ill defined.

Nope.  Though I can see how someone who was totally mistaken about what
the real internal mandates were might reach such a conclusion.

Once again the fixation on "control"...

ICANN is already in compliance with the law and its own internal 
requirements.

that you call "ICANN".  There is no obvious relationship between what 
you imagine and what the real ICANN is supposed to be.
