It is a sad irony that those who most vociferously complain about ICANN
exceeding its mandate as a technical coordinating body are precisely the
ones who exert the most pressure for it to become a global internet
governance organization, with large scale global elections and an
elaborate representational structure that some have compared to the UN. 
It is a great pity that those individuals, some of whom are otherwise
quite intelligent, are simply oblivious to the intrinsic contradiction
in their position, and to the inevitable consequences of that 
contradiction...
