It is worth remembering that when ICANN was still "NewCo" that a promise
was made that the Board of Directors would be dominated by a majority of
seats chosen by the public. So asking for two seats is asking for a
crust of stale bread when we were promised a feast.
I do remember the horrific pushback we got when our 2009 board "At Large
Advisory Committee" suggested any public seat (one of which became the
one we have now.)
Take a look at my "concurrence" beginning at page 32:
