I see things differently. If you think ICANN is limited to just whois 
and dns you're not seeing the big picture.

Internet Governance is something that is an emergent property of the 
exponential growth of the Internet. A good way of looking at it is that 
when the car was invented it led to the invention of traffic lights.

In the 1990s I used to sell network control software to big companies 
and my customers we IT department heads. Sometime I would hear stories 
about how they got a job that didn't exist 15 years earlier and often it 
went like this:

"I was a salesman and I bought a TRS80 computer so I didn't have to 
retype my proposals and because I was the first to have a computer I 
ended up head of the IT department."

ICANN is the salesman with the TRS80. ICANN is in the right place at the 
right time for IG to emerge. It is up to us to make sure it gets off to 
a good start.

Once the report is out, it will be almost impossible to not get stuck with its global collections and publication of information that should be private.
