This is wise thinking.

May I add that a key part of the puzzle: the intrinsic internal 
change of the governed matter. The international network since its 
inception in 1977 has been oversighted by the USG. Removing or 
replacing the oversight is possibly a change in the internet itself 
as we know and discuss it. So in addition to the political evaluation 
dimension you have to add an architectural dimension, where you also 
have minimalists and maximalists. And then to add interactions 
between these two dimensions. This is the least you can do.

There is another set of dimensions which corresponds to the 
contextual (big data, scientific evolution, cyberwar, inteligent use, 
edge providers, intelligent systemics, singularity, etc.) evolution 
that probably co-triggered the need for oversight change . However, 
just considering the oversight limited to these two dimensions should 
be enough for a start.
