>proposed by ICM, including compliance issues related to key terms associated
>with public policy concerns.
>ICM had proposed additional terms in response to issues raised by ICANN's
>Governmental Advisory Committee, particularly at ICANN's meeting in
>Wellington in March. http:// www.icann.org/announcements/
