Evan, You have to admit, ICANN has been marvelously successful. As a trade association for the "contracted parties". In addition to controlling any decisions which might impact them, they get a substantial amount of unpaid labor from the members of ALAC. If you're the GNSO, what's not to like? It may, at some point in the future, be immortalized as a type case of "regulatory capture."
