I suspect this is why Harald is now requesting more input - the "masses"
feel either uninterested, too busy, or not knowledgeable enough to make
a decision (something the consultant should not suffer from).

I'm not really that clear how C (an independent corporation that works 
with ISOC) will in practice differ from O (an independent committee that
works under ISOC).   How does "with" and "under" differ, in reality?

The subtleties are beyond me, without significant effort to follow it, and
it sounds like John is making the same comment.
