This is questionable in that sense that @large are no part of ICANN, as 
ccTLDs are no part of ICANN nor RIRs. The ccTLDs, the RIRs do not want any 
more than we want to be organized by ICANN.

IMHO "@large" means "at large members of the internet governance". What 
means that we are the active co-owners of the internet, representing the 
non active ones. As the co-owners meetings in a condo does not ncessarily 
include all the owners.

To keep the comparison with a condo, ICANN can claim to be the Gate Keeper 
and the NTIA the Manager slected by the co-owners. The Manager has no right 
to decide who are the co-owners he wants to relate with. And certainly the 
Gate Keepr no capacity to decide who the are de co-owners.
