True, but irrelevant. What the respective powers are is completely
independent of whether one takes precedence over another in the ICANN
structure. If the ICANN board decides that individual representation
is sufficiently achieved through the direct ICANN membership, then
the GA does "obviate" the IDNO -- the GA is an allowed construct;
the IDNO is not.

In any case, I don't know why you are saying all this, because it has
little to do with what I said. I said that individuals could be
represented in a MODIFIED GA, one with powers more similar to a
constituency.

Actually, I think that support for ICANN is growing.
