A major part of ICANN's quest for legitimacy is contingent upon attracting a broad, diverse group of stakeholders who are engaged and informed, and who are able to hold ICANN accountable for its decisions. The surest way to do this is by establishing a process where the ties between stakeholder and board are clearly defined. Certain specific constituencies have established this tie through the Supporting Organization model. However, for the representation of the broad public interest a direct election mechanism best provides an incentive for participation and a means to hold ICANN accountable.
