There needs to be a difference between the stewardship roles and the doer/self-interests roles. You can pay the doer, but the stewards are ideally volunteers who care about the mission.

That this decision was made in the first place, and that ICANN took so long to withhold consent, shows that there are not enough stewards in either organization.

The problem was that oversight roles where hamstrung deliberately by the executive (doers)

Holding meetings in far flung and hard to get to places was one tactic

The actual problem is that the oversight roles didn’t immediately dismiss the executive when they pulled these tricks.

Your not wrong you need a strong chair and a commitment to good governance - I suspect there where a lot of buggins turn appointees with no experience in holding an executive to account.

Exactly right.
