You start with a fundimental flaw. The ICANN doesn't control what goes into
the root-zone. The US department of Commerce does. The ICANN ONLY makes
recommendations. That the DOC choses to listen, is accidental. From that,
the Internet is still under US control. Any other interpretation is
self-delusional.
