Re: Time to get rid of ICANN?

You missed the point. The point is that commercial companies, who control (virtually) all the user access points to the internet (not yours, or mine, but phones, TVs, IoT devices, consumer PCs, etc) can (and will, one day) choose to walk away from the IANA root zone and ICANN, and make it just a small part of a much larger naming environment they control, and eventually pretty much irrelevant.
