I think people get confused about who the stake holders in internet
operation/governance really are... certainly ICANN allways was when I was
actively observing it.
The stake holders with the most to lose are ordinary enduser consumers of
interenet services. They just want to get their work / entertainment /
communication done, and to the extent that technocrats, bureaucrats ,
crimnals , extremely greedy businesses , and rogue governments setup
barriers that impede them from doing that they lose.
