Marc,

do not worry. The ICANN has absolutely no control on the Internet. It
plaid the role that at the end of the day everyone accepted it to
play. Then the took seriously their IANA maintenance task and wanted
to take control of it (Paul Towmey and Chris Dispain and the mad vTLD
scheme) and make it endorsed by the USG as a lesser evil. I am afraid
this may come to an end soon enough with the fist court actions over
the vTLD IPR issue.

You know, there is no virus that can affect the internet, but there
is a IANA DoS bomb  (the langtag registry, due to it size and lack
of  update  solution) by the US  Industry. The Internet architecture
surprisingly turns out to be extremely robust and open, but it is
under employed to the advantage of its current dominance. The real
issue is the USB (US Bluff): as long as it stays accepted, it
protects us with the US umbrella of stability, what is acceptable to
everyone - except in case of cyberwarfare actions. This is why the
vTLD project was absurd: because it will start an intra-US legal loss
of ICANN credibility, and as a consequence will question the USB.
This will lead to the "internet+", with the same inner protocol, cute
external additions and an entire new governance. Lead by Google/ISOC
instead of ICANN/ISOC, at least they will have a try at it: decision
will be with the users. Who do they want to control them?

Cheers !
