I found it amusing to see that ICANN now considers the only "stakeholders" who are allowed in the sandbox to "key stakeholders" - I guess it's not enough to anymore to be a mere run of the mill "stakeholder", now one has to be a key stakeholder.
But wait there's more - now for members of the public to be allowed into ICANN's useless company unions, you must be an "informed" member of the public. But no such requirement of being "informed" is placed on those "key stakeholders" and ICANN certainly worked its tail off trying to prevent me from looking at its records so that I could be an "informed" director. I guess that within the fantasy world of ICANN, it is only the public who are obligated to be "informed" as a precondition to participation.
And then there's that list of IANA - not ICANN - accomplishments. Things like those "private enterprise numbers" that make up the majority of its work - those are allocated in exactly the same way that most protocol numbers are assigned - the big book of numbers is consulted, the difficult job of adding one to the previous maximum value is performed, the result is written back into the big book of numbers. Even under ICANN's reign, that job takes at most a few seconds per number. In other words, ICANN is reaching very hard to make a very small molehill look like a very large mountain.
