The internet used to run by DoD before power was transfered over to DoC. DoC then somehow gave ICANN control, but under their watch.
DoD created the internet (w/ help of academia) through technical knowledge. They still have that technical knowledge, just look at modern military technologies.
I agree that DoC may lack technical knowledge required for ICANN proposals. Perhaps a solution would be to include DoD techies on the board that oversights ICANN? This would basically be shifting oversight to include DoD for technical matter and DoC for business matters.
There was a study published a few months ago indicating that no matter how much teens dislike supervision and say they dont need it, those same teens end up better overall (ie- less likely to use drugs, better grades, etc) if their parents maintained their supervision of hem as opposed to the parents who gave in. Moral: This is just another situation of parents wanting to supervise their teen's actions vs teens not wanting that supervision.
