Ditto That, I'd add the Movement of the 2000 election did metamorphosis to
create the IcannatLarge.Com & IcannatLarge.Net (which could be considered one
unified group, or two left & right Groups). 

Of which many of today's "Old Timers" found a voice and also a platform, most
importantly of which, got them elected into Icann organs. You should give
credit - where credits due, their 'voice' didn't happen on Icann mail-list, the
support at the time came from list, not unlike this list today, wherein a few
of these Voices will go on to be incorporated in to the Icann or IGF
structures.

would satisfy the ICANN community? 

I wouldn't say "satisfy", but by all means sounds like another approach,
and diversity-is-the-mother-of-invention, so go ahead! put it out there.
