>Arguments
claiming that ICANN is "the only game in town" and that not
>supporting ICANN
risks chaos, nationalization, and other unwelcome prospects
>are fallacious
and seem to border on fear-mongering. The assignment of
>further important
responsibilities to ICANN (by government or other groups)
>would only exacerbate
already serious problems. This is particularly true
>for critical aspects
of the Internet, such as reliability and security, that
>go far beyond the
relatively minor niceties of domain name assignment
>policies.
