The "community" I suspect that they are sensitive about is not NANOG etc.
but the advertisers and the shareholders.
Remember, Verisign is the effective monopigly (sic) issuer of certificates
and the monopoly controller of the largest TLD. Their long term financial
and political power is dependent on these - legitimate or corrupt
applications aside. Having any external body (even a semi-legitimate one
like ICANN) interfere will result in some real fallout for the power
mongers...
