Well, my favorite example of people being horrified (probably not the
right word, it is a somewhat trivial example if an amusing one) by
ICANN was at the ccTLD meeting in Berlin:
Point 10.1 stated that "The ccTLD Constituency processes shall adhere
to the ICANN principles of openness and transparency." The meeting
does not vouch for ICANN principles, and the consensus was to let the
sentence stand without the word "ICANN" (amid some mirth)
