Personal opinion: People who are unhappy with ICANN -- and who isn't?
-- should be working to reform it from within. ICANN's processes are
open and everyone is free to participate. [Sort of.] Supporting or
encouraging efforts like alternate DNS roots undermines ICANN. That
could lead to the replacement of ICANN with something even less
palatable to Internet people: internet governance by international
civil servants through some part of the United Nations.
