Veni an all,

that's exactly the point. If over 90% comments are against the proposal
I don't understand how the proclaiming support for the bottom-up
consensus can hold any further.

I have explaned several of my votes, which I consider very important in the last years. The explanations are at http://blog.veni.com , and also in the minutes. As for the percents, one thing I've learnt is that sometimes the percents are not really what matters - you see, in the so called socialist camp (yes, the world before 1989 was divided in "capitalist world", and "socialist camp" - I guess you can see the irony here), there were usually 99.2 % voting in favor of the ruling communist party. In the USA the majority of the people approved the war in Iraq. Etc, etc. Public opinion polls are not always the arguments that one has to listen to, when acting. I would have agreed with you, if I were a politican or a showman, who cares about his image. Since I am neither, and I had duties to the Internet community and ICANN, and not to the GA mailing list, I somehow do not feel the arguments of the majority were very compelling. By the way, obviously the same feelings were in all other directors, because people from all over the world voted the same way.
