Thanks for posting the contributions in plain text.  There are a few 
points from the contributions which I'll mention:

   'The weight of registries and registrars in the policy development processes
    should be reduced.  The current structure of "houses" in the GNSO gives
    them the same weight as all other stakeholder groups together, while,
    in fact, those other groups represent the interests of all other sectors
    of the society and are thus better placed to represent the public 
interest.'

I did not understand the meaning of 'the current structure of "houses"'.

   "Besides, the participation of individuals and entities in the ALAC neither
    follows transparent rules nor guarantees an adequate global representation
    of users."

   "Sufficient funds should be provided to promote and ensure the participation
    of individuals representing stakeholder groups from developing countries.
    Mechanisms should be implemented to ensure their effective participation
    in the different organizations, committees, and working groups of ICANN."

According to the above the current participation from developing 
countries is not considered as effective [1].
