Before we do this, I do have some other questions:

Wasn't this exactly why people suggested ICANN should just move to
Switzerland and become an independent international organization ? Would
this still be possibility ?

An other question, how much does ICANN really have to say about the
content of the root ? Isn't their a long process to get something in/out
of the root and isn't it the root operators that decide to actually
deploy the zone ?
