This is what I mean when I say the ICANN cause. And I do not object you to 
try and us to help. But I saw nothing of interest in the ISP except self 
satisfaction on points I consider as detrimental to my interests and a 
bureaucratic growth. This is why I ask to list the pros of ICANN.

What you say is that ICANN keep goverments at arms's length. I can 
understand that desire from an American citizen in a country which signed 
an MoU with ICANN (the only one), where the Congress decides of SLDs (the 
only one), decides of whois, decide of the wheather and of the globe 
warming, etc. I tend to consider the French Gov the way the law voted by a 
democratic Parliament describes it, as the protection of the internet 
naming public service. Not perfect, but to know I expect the French Gov 
Army to protect me. I expect its other Agencies to serve (not to direct or 
harm) my own interests.

As the operator of my SNHN (small network, open network), which has the 
power and the bandwidth of the US international packet switch services 15 
years ago, I wish that Governments keep ICANN at arm's length as well.

As an SNHN operator (an @large) I miss a few features:
- a universal open naming space
- a fully multilingual naming space (not an internationalized 
spoofing/phishing cacoscripty)
- a free permanent IP address and the support of ISP/peering rotation
- no spam, spoof, phishing, etc.
- protection against DoS, drop in bandwidth, root server dysfunctions, 
privacy/intelligence protection
- sensible propositions against digital divide and e-colonization
- the direct interoperability, interintelligibility, interusability of a 
Multilingual Internet
- clear indications of the intended network evolution/innovation in the 
years to come
- sovereignty and security protection for my country, my porximities, my family
- a comprensive, updated, technical Internet book. You know what they have 
4000 RFCs :-) The motto is KISS !!!
- intelligent extended services (for.example: is ICANN discussing a world 
geologic alarm system?)

etc.
Let get real.
