It is a fantasy to consider any change in direction, from the ICANN, at
this point.

Cute, a constituency without NC representation. Won't fly.

Why not? They threw out the Paris draft. But, that's because they had
their own pre-written draft ready to implace. The constiuency model is
working nicely to fragment vocal opposition. Why should they change it
now?
Yes, they need to throw out the DNSO and start over because the current
one has no consensus support. One can not have consensus by tossing out
the stakeholder group that disagrees or by trying to steam-roller them
into the pavement.
The ICANN is a train-wreck and the locomotive has already derailed.
