this is my personal opinion.

it's not the best, but
a) there is no better created (and hence the governments will take 
immediate control)
b) if there is no ICANN, for sure the control over domain and numbers will 
not by a miracle go to the Civil Society or the privacy groups, or the 
scientists; it will go to the governments. And there isn't anything worse 
than that as of today.
