So, ICANN and supporters set up this with no single clue of whether  
this could work or not?

So, neither ALAC nor the elections have worked. Isn't it time to  
think that the reasons for which they haven't worked is linked to  
ICANN global failure, and to really start considering some other  
construction?!

It's not working, in particular it's not representative, and on top  
of this it should have more power?

I'm wondering why people on this list spend their time explaining how  
and why things are not working, and still don't want to give up on  
ICANN as it is. Too much investment already? Other interests? Fear  
that things get worse? What exactly?
(NB. I do understand why people/organizations that currently benefit  
from ICANN in one way or another want to keep their privileges. What  
about others?)

Best,
Meryem
