Would be better to keep ICANN out of it. ICANN policy has a tendency to 
work out badly. Better approach is to work with the registry operator 
community to figure out what the "right" approach is and move forward on 
a best practices basis to implement. On the positive side, its also hard 
to get ICANN policy through the process. The likelihood that policy 
would pass preventing specific operations practices is pretty minimal.
