First, that ICANN's role is "management of the Internet". It isn't. It's management of the DNS, basically.

Second, that ICANN has anything to fear from the IGF. It doesn't. The IGF's mandate is much broader than ICANN's and relates to public policy development, not technical management.

ICANN a "from the ground up" consensus body?

What a joke. The only group among whom there is consensus in support of ICANN policies is those who profit from their abuse of the DNS system. ICANNs failure to even sort out mistakes they themselves have acknowledged says it all.

ICANN?
