ICANN was carefully designed to be captured at all times by the 2/3 vote
of the PSO and ASO over the DNSO. Folks might want to check some of the
archives on the ITAG and how ICANN was structured.

The entire MLM - Multi-Level-Marketing structure depends on the existing
arrangement. It does not seem likely that ICANN would disrupt their
cash-flow
and structure. If anything, things could be preserved and simplified, by
simply
allowing the DNSO, ASO and PSO to absorb the At Large Directors.

If people truly want a structure based on representativeness, it seems
that the TLD could be the tribal name people rally behind. Once thoursands
of TLDs are identified as "Best-of-Breed", the TLD may be the natural
way to give people a voice, that can be accurately counted.
