I think the problem lays on the definition of the relevant stakeholders, of their representation and of who should decide such matters. That is what has been haunting ICANN from the begining.
I have no idea how to solve those problems but I wonder if an intergovernmental organization is not the least of all evils. ICANN as an experimental alternative has proven worse.
I know that the UN is an intergovernamental organization, and some question its representativeness.
Hence, we are in desperate need of alternatives and not of nice whishfull thinking declarations.
The present situation certainly favours interst groups because there are no mechanisms to check their strength.
