That' s essentially the polar opposite of what I suggested.

Doing so would, with the exception of NCUC, pretty well shut out
anything resembling the public interest in the nomination process. Most
of what I saw as defined as "constituencies" were the organizations of
vested interests and pressure groups -- registries, IP hoarders, etc. to
whom free expression, accessibility and transparency are all consumed by
commercial pursuits. At-Large was, so far as I can tell, invented to try
to counter the well-established, well-funded constituencies.

IMO having the constituencies run the NomComm guarantees a future ICANN
board that is more than happy to (further) remove the public interest
from its future directions.
