[Jacqueline A. Morris]

That's exactly the question I'm asking of the person who proposed this
(Danny)... How do all the Internet users get to be represented in this
solution...

And how do you expect these disenfranchised stakeholders to participate
meaningfully?

The points Meryem Marzouki raised kind of help, but an entrenched body with
substantial investment in it is strongly entrenched and change resistant in
terms of changing election procedures.  

However, there is a consensus driven process in place - only, of course, the
" usual suspects" turning up at every icann meeting trump those folks who
haven't heard of icann and aren't likely to.
