Will ICANN remain true to its core values?

[Nigel <nigel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

At 
http://www.icann.org/en/committees/evol-reform/working-paper-mission-06may02.htm
 we find the following statement:

"In performing its mission, ICANN adheres to these core values and principles:

[a]. Preserve and enhance the operational stability, reliability, security, and 
global interoperability of the Internet."

and at http://www.icann.org/tr/english.html we find: 

"Within ICANN's structure, governments and international treaty organizations 
work in partnership with businesses, organizations, and skilled individuals 
involved in building and sustaining the global Internet. Innovation and 
continuing growth of the Internet bring forth new challenges for maintaining 
stability. Working collectively, ICANN's participants address those issues that 
directly concern ICANN's mission of technical coordination."

Approving the ICM Registry's .xxx tld would go against ICANN's core values.

Creating the .xxx tld would encourage certain political parties in certain 
countries to make the use of a .xxx domain mandatory for adult websites. By 
allowing the .xxx tld to be created and by doing so encouraging legislation 
that would require people in the adult industry to abandon their already 
established .com domains, ICANN will fail to preserve and enhance the 
operational stability and global interoperability of the Internet. ICANN wil 
also undermine the reliability of the current domain name system. Why would 
anyone register a .com domain if he can't be sure that 2 years later he will 
still be allowed to use it to host a specific kind of legal content?

On 
http://www.icann.org/en/committees/evol-reform/working-paper-mission-06may02.htm
 we also find:

"[d]. Promote international participation at all levels of decision-making and 
policy-making.

[e]. Seek broad, informed participation reflecting the functional and 
geographic diversity of the Internet."

Regardless of ICANN's claims that it promotes international participation, the 
outcry of adult webmasters everywhere that the ICM registry does not represent 
them has been ignored. Time and time again have we expressed our opposition to 
the .xxx proposal and still the ICM Registry claims "the matter of community 
support has been settled". Where is the proof that the ICM has sufficient 
community support? Or has ICANN forgotten its other core value:

"[h]. Employ open and transparent policy-making mechanisms that promote 
well-informed, technically sound decisions."

Show us the proof!

Will ICANN remain true to its core values or will ICANN make itself obsolete by 
approving a tld that will undermine the current system?
