Nope, just an observation.  I can't see how any of the structures were instigated without the people doing it being aware of the limiting factors they were building in.

Being purposely obtuse is not helpful.  The collective goal is to actually have respresentative organizations that are effective in assisting with the future direction of DNS policy.  It is a fact of life that political clout is an effective tool in gaining recognition and achieving objectives.  The current system seems designed to keep the participating recognised organizations small and unrepresentative, without real input.  

I also fail to see why it would be necessary to leave.  There are a lot of political animals included in this forum already.  The whole structure is basically political in nature.
