Explain to me how it is less risky to the integrity and security of the Internet to continue to allow ICANN and Versign to manage the TLDs than it is to turn that responsibility over to the UN or Go Daddy or whomever. It seems to me that the ICANN deal is just that, one hell of a deal. I cannot imagine that if one of the race-to-zero registrars were to take over the job that we would get a decent balance of integrity, security and cost.
The last thing we all should all want is a cycle of indecision or worse, transience in management and wind up with a splintered Internet.
ICANN - Good on you for making a decision and good on you for making it long-term.
