, 11 years ago→Power and Authority - where does it come from?
The short answer is - no one. But power and authority doesn't come from being elected or appointed. Sometimes you're just the person or organization that is in the right place at the right time. Sometimes you're just first in line. Sometimes it's like being the lottery winner and wondering, "Why me?"

But - before excessive egos kick in we're not talking about being king or president of the world here. This is more like being system administrators to the world. ICANN might look at themselves as the world's IT department. And that is reflected in the multi-stakeholder model. If you have a company the admins don't tell you what to do. When the rest of the company agrees that they want some new feature then the admins make it happen. When people at the company are still arguing about what software to get and not agreeing on what they want the admins just sit back until they work it out.
