Pretty good in my opinion.  Here's my inputs:

Consider changing "to involve" to "to provide a venue to involve" or
similar.  Involvement is the responsibility of our members: we just provide
the channel to enable that involvement!

Do we want to address ICANN exclusively in our mission statement?  I think
not.

Change "ICANN and its bodies;" to "ICANN, its bodies, and other
organizations or entities our membership so designates;".
This leaves us open to deal with anyone we choose.

In the same light, change "ICANN" to "ICANN and other organizations".

Ditto

Ditto
