Thanks for the summary, it'll be easier to reply to:

It was begun, and continues. We should applaud efforts so far, and
encourage more folk to contribute, in other words, make the spaghetti
ball richer.

I can't find this in the TA.  I think the conditions are in place, as
I see EC all over the place, so the conditions must have been created
long ago.

I reject the notion that new institutions are needed.   We have a
"global body with multistakeholder representation" why would we need
another to oversee the first?  and who will oversee the new "global
body with multistakeholder representation" and who will oversee them,
etc, etc, ad infintum.  The bottom line is that the USG will cut the
cord long before any new body could be up and running.  Besides, the
ICANN Board would not likely (think hell freezing over) acquiesce to
being "overseen"

I certainly don't see a need for any.  Are you really hoping to form a
global body to regulate FB/LinkedIn/MySpace?  Seriously?

I think a general statement supporting the current process of EC and
re-iterating CS involvement is the best we are going to be able to do.
