Gimme a break. I've watched IAHC fail for not being this very thing,
I've watched IFWP try real hard to be just this then get scuttled
by the IANA Cabal who are now ICANN and who will fail for the
same reasons - it is not legitimate, open, transparent or
representative of more than a couple of hundred poeple.
The failure of ICANN is proof the process works.
