The prospect of altering ICANN is a daunting one, and quite
possibly and
unnessicay one. ICANN is one of the main resions that the Internet
has
spread so quickly and has remained so stable. having one authority
controlling one standard on one system ensures that any one
can access the
Internet easily. as the Internet becomes more and more integrated
with our
lives it is important that it remains stable and assessable.
ICANN has done
an amazing job of this, and the resulting network is so powerful
it is
unchallenged in the commercial market place. of other importance
is the
sympicty of the current system. as a byproduct of ICANN approving
so few new
top level domains users can remember almost any TLD. this in
turn makes the
end domain name easy to remember. for example google.com is
assessable
through google.com and .net, and almost all websites are registered
as
either .com .org or .net. for thees resions i think it is very
important to
leave ICANN the way it is.
