Paul Twomey: "We are firmly committed to a multi-stakeholder approach....We expect to evolve, we expect to keep changing. We are concerned about stability [of the internet] and we think it's best to evolve existing institutions. Our present corporate structure is a matter of history, not of any particular design."

I either don't understand or don't agree with that last sentence. ICANN was designed and its design is a result of many discussions and negotiations over a period of years. It was redesigned, with celebrated time and effort, just a couple of years ago. The result may not be pretty and still can be improved, but it didn't line up like this by some historical accident.
