Hi Evan, 

It might be helpful if you would unpack what you see "governance" meaning in the context of the Internet.  

To your other points, I submit that we have technical bodies which are not only well-meaning but effective.  They don't have 100% control over the technical aspects of the Internet, but they do establish technical standards which are routinely adopted by most vendors of products for the Internet. 

As for the multistakeholder model itself, I think it is worth considering whether the trend towards being a trade association is due to inherent flaws in the model, or due to flaws in the implementation of the model.  If the later (which I personally find more persuasive), we can address what changes are needed there.  Of course, if it's the former, we can just throw up our hands and go home.
