So, with ICANN 'now' starting to forge alliances and make partnerships,
despite some possibly bad moves early on, and despite some overly heavy
handedness on the USGov's part over the years. Is 'no more ICANN' really a

Would some/all of the ICANN situation been different had the USGov't just
walked away one day one?
