Suspect ICANN will have long gone before that day comes.

The US agreed to hand over the responsibilities of ICANN by August 2006 to an international authority where all countries with .TLD's would have representation. As is custom, this agreement is going to be broken - what's new?

The reasons given by a US admin mouth were..

"Given the internet's importance to the world's economy, it is essential that the underlying DNS of the internet remain stable and secure.

As such, the US is committed to taking no action that would have the potential to adversely impact the effective and efficient operation of the DNS, and will therefore maintain its historic role in authorising changes or modifications to the authoritative root zone file."

Considering the current administration's management of almost all other aspects of life, it's even more absurd to consider they are capable of any stability or security of DNS management.

As one representative said..

"On Internet governance, three words tend to come to mind: lack of legitimacy. In our digital world, only one nation decides for all of us."

Obviously this is ongoing and ICANN is a dead parrott and not legitimate.
