This federation that you are describing was formed without any involvement
of IANA/ICANN. It was done entirely independently.
Very true. It's also true that if I refuse to answer the phone, I will
not have any phone conversations.
So the idea that IANA/ICANN was somehow obligated to coordinate its own
activities with an independent effort is a very basic non sequitur.
A case could be made that if ICANN was even *pretending* to serve the public
interest, they could at least enter into a *discussion* with the ORSC people.
Of course, we all know they won't even do that with their OWN board of
directors without a court order.
