Corporations with millions of shareholders manage to have elections, and it is neither a huge expense nor hassle.
It is unfortunate that the discussion of elections and ICANN is always co-opted into various folks' pet notions of "internet users" and "global democracy" and other nonsense, while the people who ACTUALLY have something at stake - domain name registrants - continue to be denied a voice in the organization that determines the rules which govern the assets which make them, uh, domain name registrants.
It's simple. One domain name, one vote. If ICANN can't figure out how to authenticate such a vote then it is high time for them to get out of the business of formulating policy for things like domain name transfers.
Bret is a domain name registrant, which is a good thing. It would be a great thing to clear the decks of the Dudley Do-Rights of the ICANN policy world that have never registered nor managed a domain name.

...is a complete failure. ICANN spends over $150,000 a year on the ALAC, which seems to be stillborn, yet which is still cited in its Strategic Plan as the answer to public accountability.

None of those people are elected. They work in the executive branch. They are either appointed by the President, by one of his subordinates, or via he civil service system.

Hermione Granger is a fictional character (from the Harry Potter series). Is there some point to this list of (not all real) names?
