Even better. My personal opinion is that this is all going
much too far, and the overreach shall be its undoing. But
that's just my opinion - I'm keen to wait and see.

indeed.

And a small nitpick with the original note:

         ICANN's scope is a very small set of three coordination
activities.  It has taken on -- and been assigned -- nothing as extensive
or ambitious as (all) technical coordination of the (entire) Internet.

         It sounds quite dramatic to overstate ICANN's scope, but it is not
accurate.
