That's because those distinctions are less important to ICANN than the
more domain-industry-friendly silos of
1) Domain producers (half of the GNSO)
2) Domain consumers (the other half of the GNSO)
3) Everyone else -- the technical, governmental and non-domain-buyer user
communities (advisory councils)
It's ICANN with the idiosyncratic segmentation, not the rest of the world.
Granted, the above broad groupings also have plenty of their own internal
diversities and there is some cross-pollination (as exists in the quartet).
But ICANN's silos have has suited the power brokers well.
