Because of this ICANN is sort of the preordained initial form of Internet Governance (IG). Everything has to start somewhere and where it starts and who is involved is somewhat by random chance. Someone has to win the lottery and whoever wins will have to ask themselves, "Why Me?" ICANN is just in the right place at the right time.
Like a lottery winner ICANN has to claim its prize or the jackpot will move onto the next drawing which mat be far less suited than ICANN is. Would we want the United Nations taking over the Internet? Or would we rather have a world wide oligarchy form that will dominate humanity where we will be controlled by warring corporations and rich ideologues fighting for personal power? Or will the machines evolve into life forms and kill off all the biology and move out into space to conquer the universe?
