I agree. ICANN has crept its mission well beyond its proper roles.
ICANN is not a consumer protection body. Yes, ICANN has lifted the lid on
that Pandora's box and look at the mess that it has created as a result.
ICANN needs to slam the lid back down, start doing what it ought to have
been doing all along - technical coordination - and leave the issues of
public policy to the bodies that were created for that purpose.
This is why there is such a gulf between the few paragraphs that I
published as to ICANN's duties and what ICANN's staff published as it's
telephone-book sized book of jobs it does.
Yes, it will be a mess to clean up the mess that ICANN has already
created. But let's not make it any worse by adding even more jobs for
ICANN to do poorly.
