Sadly, the corruption will only get worse from here on out. They no longer are under oversight of the US Government which while doesn't mean too much, it did at least add some intimidation to prevent doing funny business.


Because do-nothing is an acceptable outcome for a body like ICANN (whereas for example it's a huge problem for the US Senate) it would be fine IMNSHO if ICANN had been given to the relevant specialized agency of the United Nations, the ITU.

The ITU is a slow unwieldy bureaucracy, each member is a UN Member State, ie an entire country - which means nothing will get done, which is fine and I argue largely desirable.
