I don't think it's a matter of power, but rather a practical step forward towards the necessary evolution of ICANN.
ICANN has to become a truly global organization, and this includes making its footprint actually global, in terms of geographical presence, internal staff diversity, support for a reasonable number of major world languages other than English, etc. It also includes establishing closer interactions with people, groups and institutions that are not based in California or in Washington D.C..
Having regional offices, as well as other regional structures (including the regional At Large organizations!) will make it much easier to accomplish these objectives, and will help in making ICANN more open and more accountable.
