→Is this only about the Internet
One has to also look at the role of ICANN from the perspective of the future especially with the hyper-evolution of the Internet. It is easy to see that as technology creates a world community that the ball is moving into our court and that we are presently in a unique position to get it right from the start. We can, and should, at least come up with the philosophical framework for the future.

What we come up with can be applied to all aspects of life. For example, if we adopt the view that the positive evolution of humanity is a better path than extinction, and the the idea of the Global Public Interest is a good standard, then these ideas could be easily applied to decisions about the environment. Clean air and water is better than polluted air and water. Peace is better than war. Nuclear annihilation is a bad idea. We all sort of know this but if we have a solid philosophical infrastructure we can precisely explain why these statement are true and we can create testable outcomes to check our decisions against.
