<br></div><div>One question though: is ICANN thinking of institutionalizing itself, or getting representative of more parties, or both? What's behind ICANN internationalization? I still wonder. Is this wording able to please/trap the multilateral layer of the IG, the nation states and the CS by the same token? Is this word used to give an institutional shine to ICANN, so to be seen as some kind of international organization (multilateral system). But then, if so, will ICANN use an empty concept such as "equal footing"? Equal footing sounds 'cool' but it's empty when it comes to decision making.</div>
</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Actually it is not. There are some ICANN processes where decisions are still made in a process where everyone has the same voice, there is no voting, no representation, no silos. Everyone comes together on lists and in person to forge consensus. There is no possibility of the ICANN Board reversing these decisions, no political games from governments, etc. Truly multi-equal stakeholderism.</div>
