I disagree.  Under the present circumstances, where users are detrementally 
impacted by policy with little or no choice of alternatives, they must have a 
voice in any policy regardless of how it is to be implemented.  As long as 
policy is uniform among all registries and policy impacts an interested party 
there must be a voice.

The real solution is for ICANN to simply stay out of business practices policy 
and allow the users to choose what registries they are willing to do business 
with.   However, until there is *real* choice among many gTLDs, it is all 
moot, IMO.  Users must have a substantial vote on any policy that impacts 
them under present conditions.
