Oh, and let's not forget that ICANN's governance model means that those who
buy and sell domains are already well represented at the policy table.
Nobody else speaks purely for those impacted by ICANN decisions without
contributing to its finances, so the onus is on At-Large to speak for the
otherwise voiceless.

It is often raised within ICANN that industry advicates are end users too.
I find that position unconvincing, it just becomes another channel for
lobbying (or causing diversion from what is otherwise broad consensus).
Such blatant "dual-dipping" is but one of the sources of ICANN's own
credibility problems.

Cheers,
Evan
