I dont see the difference vis a vis the issue I posed. A change being
advised with or without clearly documented prior instances of "problems
with", and of possible replacements that already exist and are
demonstrably working.

Yes, it absolutely does. That is why I have always supported seeking
both advantages and disadvantages, of US jurisdictional oversight, as
well as of any proposed alternatives.

That is the belief that ICANN community wishes to live in, but it is not
structurally true. There are innumerable studies that will show that
nominally open is not the same as substantive full participativeness.
You must really think that since there are just a very few asking for a
complete examination of the jurisdiction question, that number actually
represent how many want a shift from single country's jurisdictional
oversight? I have repeatedly pointed to the statement issued by scores
of organisations in this regard as just one instance of the sentiment
outside. Why are all those people not on this WG and attending the call,
maybe if you think enough about it you can guess. Simple formal openness
simply allows people with most resources - material, of time, as well as
cultural, to dominate the processes. You all know this quite well, I
dont have to write a paper here on formal openness versus substantive
participativeness. There is huge literature out there on participatory
processes.
