groups which are now informally administering the Internet could result in the
disruption of Internet operations, the inability of any user to communicate
with another user or otherwise utilize the Internet or the delay of
infrastructure improvements necessary to the maintenance and expansion of the
Internet."

with its
recognition that there must be the consensus referred to above?

        The explanation of the metaphor below is not an answer to the question
posed. The NSI spokesman was not talking about what ICANN will do. He was
threatening action by NSI.
