I would also be opposed to any such change, but for completeness,
ICANN has the GAC - Governmental Advisory Committee.
While the GAC is an advisory committee[0], it holds special privilege

and Stability Advisory Committee[1] (SSAC), At-Large Advisory
Committee (ALAC)

This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing
regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair
of pants.
