Still no representation for the world's end-users, without whom
there would be no Internet.

Ridiculous! $333,333/seat so that the ICANN president can have a
$15,000/month salary and winter in the Bahamas, so that ICANN can
retain a high-priced lawfirm to protect it from the antitrust
lawsuits it richly deserves to be the object of, and so that any
person or organization that isn't wealthy won't be represented? 

Enough of this big business old buddies crap!
