Pretty close to what I was going to reply.

Our job in life is NOT to change all other cultures into ours 
(whoever the "our" is). While there may be strengths in any given 
culture in a specific situation, I think that it is *WAY* beyond the 
scope and mission of ICANN to try to set standards on cultures.
