US Government: No more control over ICANN

Welcome to the new 1% of the 1 percent-ers - those that work for ICANN; the ultra, uber rich.

This organization will take in so much money that Warren Buffett will want to buy stock.

ICANN will become a world of its own (Game of Thrones) with new Lords of the Realm. The only thing they have to fear is themselves.
 
I'm ambivalent about this. On one hand, I welcome anything that demonstrates how important the internet is to everyone on the planet and wrests control from one powerful nation. On the other hand, experience shows that whenever important bodies become internationalised, they get bogged down in politics and bureaucracy which stifles innovation and acts as a catalyst for corruption. Witness Fifa.
 
I'm looking forward to seeing icann even less accountable.
