While "they" may have a point, i am however yet to hear them propose a
better alternative [1]. I am also not a fan of the word control in the
internet space(especially when it control on behalf) as i prefer coordinate
which i think is what ICANN is attempting to demonstrate to the global
Internet users through her globalisation processes. Nevertheless, its still
far from perfect, but better than yesterday.

Cheers!
1. An alternative that will still ensure a structured but yet open internet
naming system.
