Doesnt international community realize control is still with US corporation?

I understand that Verisign (a US corporation with government contracts) will continue to have the last bite at changes to the domain name system like they have always had. So what is really changing here? Strong objections by ICANN execs and financial enticements of travel and relevance have shuttered any hopes that the internet coordination functions will trully be independent of ICANN's own profit seeking whims. This is not so much a problem with ICANN the institution but with the environment left behind by the last CEO Fadi. So whats the hurry? Lets delay the transition and fix the internal managment starting with those in charge with the coordination functions themselves.
