Chris,
why don't you just stop interpreting what I said, making it suitable 
for your needs, and instead take a look at what is written? The 
question here is not about comparing ICANN to a government - that's 
what you do. The question is about percentages...
The rights of the directors are well written in a number of 
documents. If you want the directors to vote the way you consider 
right, perhaps you should try by changing the bylaws, and have a 
special article that says, "no director should vote before consulting 
with Chris, and in no way he or she should vote differently than 
Chris would have voted, had he been on the Board". Or something similar.

When someone votes against something, he gets blamed; when he votes 
for something, he gets blamed again.
