Yes, it’s oversimplified, but not as much as you might think. I did that on purpose to make the point clear. And I have been on good working groups as well, with good results. But they were limited in scope and were never about the elephant in the room, and they were never successful when one group involved had already decided between themselves what the result should be, thereby considerably reducing their capacity for compromise or honest dealing. I urge you to read the summary of the study I sent, where it shown what will increase hostility between groups and what will reduce it. Antony

I think that this is a bit oversimplified. I have been involved in ICANN working groups where people from diverse stakeholder groups were involved. And (with one individual exception) everybody worked together just fine. We had disagreements, of course. But (with the aforementioned exception) everybody was focused on the task at hand rather than turf wars.
So, various groups don't necessarily fall into conflict, even at ICANN. Perhaps we should try working on ways to increase that kind of common effort, and on ways to discourage the turf wars behavior. It won't be easy. But it seems to have a greater chance of success, or even partial success, than other restructuring avenues.
