ICANN's power is troubling, especially given the quality and speed of 
its decisions. The article talks about some of this.

The notion of a rebel uprising is interesting. If I were 
independently wealthy, unseating ICANN and replacing it with a more 
sensible body would be an interesting cause. That or getting rid of 
those %@#!* "bugs" -- the little network logos on TV programs.
