Thanks, Mr. M., for telling us that EFF exists:

Electronic Freedom Foundation

[Mr_Moonlight]

Actually it's the "Electronic Frontier Foundation ... but it might as well be called Electronic Freedom Foundation, because this is their mission. EFF has been around since just before the Internet went public, circa 1990, and it has been an advocate for freedom ever since.

I trust their judgement in these matters, and if EFF says that transferring ICANN oversight from US government control over to international control isn't really a problem, then I trust EFF for their assessment.

Sometimes we, all of us, need to just chill a bit and research these things instead of knee-jerk reacting to all the red-meat that gets thrown around.

I'm not saying that EFF is correct in their assessment, but what I'm saying is that they are trusted source and their opinion ought to be considered within this discussion.
