I would agree here. I for one do not think ICANN should be
creating policy on content, be it SPAM, port or anything else.
that is something that should be left up to each country.
I would also state that as an ISP, I do not want to be Net.Police.
Esther, I hope you will keep this from being an ICANN issue, is not
and should not.
