Maybe someone else in ALAC will take a bite of this, but not I. ICANN hasn't had any real public accountability in decades, dating back to when direct Board elections were eliminated.

The "Empowered Community" is a pure exercise in Orwellian doublespeak; under current frameworks the inmates are in full control of the asylum. So if the current "bad" activities indicate a gap in such self-accountability, those of us outside the bubble can be forgiven for shedding no tears.

ICANN is publicly unaccountable by design, and the domain industry of which you're a part is an architect of that design. So don't come pleading for help just because that unaccountability now works against you, in much the same way as it has worked against the public interest as long as most here can recall.
