What an amusing statement. Drafted in public? *LOL* 

These by-laws were in no way "drafted in public." I note that the IANA

"IANA is currently drafting the by-laws for the new organization" was
changed a while back. However by that time the intent was known, and the
product of that intent has been readily apparent.
