I remember when this happened people were raving about how great it was that ICANN was no longer under U.S control.

It's likely to only get worse, until an alternative DNS-like system arises.




There was a very brief attempt by early ICANN to pretend like it was an internet user's organization and would respond to general votes from just about all users of the internet through representative proxies. Unfortunately that scheme seemed to have just been marketing and they very quickly dropped it. It bought a lot of nerd favor for the early ICANN, but yet they've never really fulfilled any of the original promises.
