Provided that 'Old Harry' and his children will never be impacted in any way
whatsoever by the Internet, I would then and only then emphatically agree
that they should not have an avenue for their voices to be heard within the
halls of Internet Governance.

Nobody wants to be coordinated. But that is exactly what government does.
Whether her mandate is narrow or broad THE ICANN WILL COORDINATE ALL OF US,
not just those of us who own nameServers. We all ought to get in on the
voting. Even Harry.
