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.
