"In order to calm people's fears and to encourage experimentation and
expansion, the U.S. Department of Commerce helped to create ICANN under the
assumption that ICANN will only be doing "Proof-of-Concept" testing, of a
limited number of new TLDs. The Early Experimentation with .BIZ helped to
show that the Internet would not crash. Some people incorrectly think that
ICANN is some sort of new world government and they will be the leaders of
that government. They do not accept that ICANN will not be needed once
Full-Scale Deployment takes place. The new TLD Communities will be quite
capable of governing themselves. The Internet Architecture is counter to the
notion of a single point of failure, like ICANN."
