Let me anticipate an objection.

Even if ICANN and its related fora (like the GA/DNSO) can be considered 
with some stretch of imagination a "quasi-Governmental institution", the
 enforcement of rules is not out of order.

Robert's Rules, abundantly quoted on this list, specifically foresee 
procedures for managing disruptive behaviour.

Democracy and anarchy are not synonyms.
