It is not a doctrine of inerrancy and to put it that way is quite dismissive.

There was a process, one that many At-large members participated in.
This process had an outcome that the Board then approved.
That is the foundation on which this program is being created, 
and the time for criticizing that outcome that is long long past.

To constantly go back and try to change things that you did not prevail on several years ago or sometimes did not even a viewpoint on, and to use that as a way to put a halt to the beginning of the new gTLD program is indeed a problem and is something that I find a bit dubious.
