 From http://archive.icann.org/en/general/lynn-reform-proposal-24feb02.htm

   "ICANN was born with a particular and intense focus on process and 
representation.
    Undue focus on process to the exclusion of substance and 
effectiveness is the
    second major problem facing ICANN."

Rumour has it that 63% of the gTLD contracts are with companies from 
the United States.  It is left to the reader to assess whether it 
would be possible to have a change of jurisdiction (re. comment about 
RFC 1591).
