Which status quo is that? The one where the US gets to say what goes into
the root?  If so, you may want to ask Amazon, Patagonia and .gcc (amongst
others) what is the current status quo.

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.
