Re: Opportunity missed
"Those governments opposed highlighted [PDF] the fact that the GAC remains an advisory committee and does not have any input into the selection of board members. They also argued that the proposal was unfairly limiting the influence of governments when compared to other groups, since for the rest of them, the two-thirds rule will remain."
The governments, represented in the GAC, have no power to insist on anything, and that is a very good thing. However bad ICANN is, it would be worse if it had to listen to governments.
