"ICANN has locked the doors to shut out the community of internet users."
Another way to look at this is that the "community of internet users" has locked the doors on the ISOC Taliban (ICANN, IETF, ARIN, etc.).
The ISOC Taliban can talk to each other. Their IP address blocks are well-known and not routed on the global Internet. The community of internet users are mostly protected from the ruthless ways the ISOC Taliban operate.
The ISOC Taliban are of course happy, they have their private IPv6 VPN to develop. They can try to sell that technology to China to help the government leaders track each person with hardware ids. The ISOC Taliban will also be all over Africa, attempting to take advantage of people new to network technology.
The vast majority of freedom-loving humans are of course not members of the ISOC Taliban. They would never want to be associated with such a group. They collectively see what the ISOC Taliban is all about and if necessary, walk away, rather than become the prey of the ISOC Taliban.
Unfortunately, the ISOC Taliban will never go away. They can only be contained, incarcerated in their own sub-nets, and prevented from doing damage to the vast majority of freedom-loving people. Just as you have a "no-fly list" you now have a "no route list".
The "no route list" is dynamically circulated amongst all edge routers (like a BitTorrent). Freedom-loving people who want to be protected from the ISOC Taliban and who want their children protected can all join forces to lock the ISOC Taliban into their own little world where they can all debate how many angels can dance on the head of a pin and what time the sun will set each day.
