My own understanding so far is that ICANN is modeled on a multi stakeholder sector approach to the management of a global resource. Legally, it is registered as a private not for profit organization. Is it not answerable to its stakeholders defined as Governments, private sector business, civil society, and necessarily, other socials formations present and to the future? So I believe that multi-stakeholder is as generic as we can make it on behalf of and in light of new actors and any future incarnations. It has been expressed with a good degree of clarity that no one stakeholder group should dominate; hoping to promote inclusion and in so doing, maximize the potential for the public good and the future development of the global resource in question. IT is agreed that the internet should not be controlled by any intergovernmental entity. Arguably, the traditional opposite of that is private sector. However, the private sector as we know it presently, is one of many stakeholders. And the principle we are at pains to stake down is one that speaks to a bottom up culture for the governance of the global internet resource. So giving the private sector as we understand the term at this juncture, an extra vote so to speak, would seem to put the cat amongst the pigeons and can have a diluting effect on what the community is trying to achieve moving forward.
