"Honestly I think that the right way to do it is to make the ICANN answerable to no one (not sure how you do that), or maybe Sweeden because I like those guys."
This is slightly off-topic, but it ought to be pointed out that Sweden is probably the last country in Europe to give control over flows of information. Sweden has rather extreme laws on "hate speech", in practice depriving people with non-politically correct wiews of fundamental democratic rights. Swedish authorities are incarcerating people for thought crimes, shutting down ISP:s for hosting nazi material etc. Nazists are being sentenced to prison for raising their right hand in a certain angle, even when it is done in private gatherings with no one but other nazists attending. Right now the Swedish supreme court is examining a case where a priest has been sentenced to prison for preaching the biblical view on homosexuality. Members of the ruling party (Sweden holds the world record for longest one-party rule) have raised proposals in the Swedish parlament to prohibit symbols associated with illegal drugs (such as stylized pictures of cannabis leaves) in the same way nazi symbols are prohibited.
