Yes.  It's obvious that our only chance to change their ways
is through external pressure.

Any ICANN AL*C entity has been intended to keep people occupied
so they can then force it espouse their "party line" then point
to it as being the "consensus of users."  We need to organize in 
such a fashion, and grow large enough, that they are forced to 
listen to and deal with *our* party line!
