Let me remind you that I did not mention "direct elections". I, like many others, agreed with the conclusions of ICANN's own Blue-Ribbon At Large Study Committee that invested a massive amount of time and capital to conclude that a consensus existed for the formation of an At-Large Supporting Organization that would elect a third of the seats on the ICANN Board.

My thoughts: From day one, the at-large was supposed to be about individuals that weren't otherwise represented within ICANN processes (individuals that would elect half of the ICANN Board so that the Special Interest elements would be properly balanced by the Public Interest elements).
