ICANN CEO Mike Roberts posted a comment to CPSR's Internet Democracy
project's Civil Society Statement on ICANN Elections.   My favorite
quote was:

"Railing away at ICANN because it doesn't meet some ideal model of
democracy is likely to be about as effective as complaining that the US
Congress is too dominated by the money of those who finance political
campaigns.  Everyone knows that, the question is how do you work from
within the system to balance competing interests, many of which possess
economic power."
