The NewCo, according to the White Paper, was supposed to be a
self-regulatory agency taking into account and representing all Internet
interests. Unfortunately, it isn't turning out that way. ICANN itself is
flawed, perhaps fatally, by the manner of its creation. Now it is carrying
out divisive and disunifying policies like separating the SOs by obliging
them to incorporate independently, asking for multiple proposals in a
competitive environment instead of providing a forum for consensus, and
denying the Internet community the mechanisms for communicating
interactively with it that might foster mutual trust.
When a group is established and given authority by the government, people
tend to follow its lead. When that lead is disunity, the result is
disharmony.
