The departure of scholars from the GA is completely orthogonal to
support of ICANN. In fact, a good case could be made that scholars,
with their idealistic search for perfection, are particularly pernicious
in a body that must be oriented towards the practical. "Those who can,
do; those who can't, become scholars". ICANN, to be successful, must
*do* things. It can't be a testbed for dreams of theoretical
democracy.
