I don't follow.

Let us tie our fate to whatever the place is where the fight for democratic
control over the tasks given at present to ICANN may be - with an ICANN after
one more year, of following wherever the struggle for this bottom-up
structure moves. But the struggle is about this structure, not about some philosophy
not related to this real battle.

With the argument you propose, the 1000 people who subscribed might have
said: better do nothing, and surely not subscribe to ICANNatlarge, because we
dont like the present direction of ICANN, and maybe the DoC will stop it
anyway.
