I consulted 'Ruling The Root' (Mueller) to remind myself of how the IFWP ended.
(Milton, my doing that just earned you another royalty fee from a Kindle Edition purchase)

Chapter 8 is fascinating.

In my view, it documents exactly how the intention of the IFWP was subverted into the ICANN we have today despite the concessions made to the multistakeholder community at the time (though, admittedly, it took Stuart Lynn's regime several years later to excise the troublesome inconvenience of global membership and direct elections).

The quote

". . . (and the tight time line they imposed) made it difficult to rectify the situation" (8.2.5)

is one of particular note, I feel.

There's an old saying in Tennessee apparently . . .
