Upstairs here at the ICANN.org site they have a nifty little statement;

ICANN at the World Summit on Information Society
Stakeholders from many of ICANN's bottom-up partnership structures have participated in the WSIS process. Key representatives from these groups have organized a WSIS Working Group, through which several sessions on WSIS have been held at ICANN meetings. ICANN will participate in the second Phase of the WSIS, and attend the Tunis summit.

Which brings you to some stuff that includes this;

Who Will Control the Internet? | Foreign Affairs, November/December 2005 
Foreign governments want control of the Internet transferred from an American NGO to an international institution. Washington has responded with a Monroe Doctrine for our times, setting the stage for further controversy.
 
It is not written factually at all using words like "want" and "setting the stage for further controversy". And note the term "Washington" as opposed to ascribing the position to individuals. This is the basis for plausible denial on ICANN members behalf. While the data is very informative the slant in which this info is relayed tells me that many at ICANN are hedging their bets so that they keep their job either way the wind blows.
