Brief Excerpt:
"0]scubacuda writes "[1]Akash Kapur of [2]CircleID has written an
editorial, [3] Why ICANN Needs Fresh Blood: A Deeper View . Kapur
writes, "[4]ICANN was born amid the heady days of Internet euphoria. 
Its early promise to be the world's first global democracy (not to 
mention an entirely new form of governance) was a product of that 
euphoria. But like so many dot-coms, ICANN quickly succumbed to 
the hubris of its own vision. If ICANN has been a troubled 
organization from the start, then that is in no small measure 
because it over-promised at the start....What's needed is fresh 
blood -- new personalities, and new ideas to break the ideological 
impasse." Kapur lists cancelled at-large elections, the 
authoritarianism and secrecy of ICANN discussion, and the
narrowing possibility that ICANN could represent a new model of
governance as indicators that global democracy has failed."
