If someone asked you, personally, to cut Russia off from the Internet, are you making a "decision" when you reply that you can't do it? No, of course you're not. It's simply something you don't have the authority/ability to do.

Same with ICANN here.

Then they should say they don't have the authority.

They've already told that:

>The globally agreed policies do not provide for ICANN to take unilateral action to disconnect these domains as you request.

Shouldn't be that hard to read a one-and-a-half page long document!

It was a reply to:

> I agree that this was the right move by ICANN.

Which turned out not to be a "move", really.
