What Joe is advocating, as well as others who see a threat to their
ability to control ICANN if it was truly open to the entire internet
community, is a structure that allows public participation via ONE
single vehicle inside the process, that makes it easier for them to
control, manipulate, or discount.

In fact what needs to happen is for there to be public participation
in EVERY organ of ICANN, from the election of Board members to the
SO's to the Task Forces, to the Working Groups.

And this scares them, because then they cannot control it and they
find the ability to manipulate outcomes would be grossly impaired.
