All those points can only answered by other people.

My contacts to the Internet community are not that wide, but hopefully
sufficient. Building and managing regional grass root internets since 1992.
Working as network admin @anISP since 1996. Responsible for non ordinary
projects, with a special focus on security. Despite managing the
out-of-ICANN TLD bofh, my political and NGO activities strongly support a
single and working name and address distribution authority in order to fight
political driven Internet splits.

I'm not neutral, but objective. I'm not bound to any industry nor
organisation, but have a personal opinion more related to NGOs.

Should be possible.

This is a real problem: Germans are very active in ICANN.
