If it can be made "legal", perhaps some protest is in order?
wewantour404(.com|.net)
I mean, how can it be legal if one organization holds 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 999999999999999999999999999999999999997% of all .com-domains (not even mentioning .net) ?

Still, ICANN should start these processes now, even if it eventually loses and even if it collapses as a result. Unless ICANN takes a principle-based stand now, regardless of how flimsy the contractual or financial basis, it it will be increasingly ignored. At this point it has two choices : (1) sit on its hands and become (even more) sidelined, (2) act in accordance with its awowed principles and gain some respect.
Evidence of sidelining abounds. Verisign clearly thinks it can ignore ICANN. The RIRs are already preparing to sideline ICANN [ripe.net]. CENTR secured a ccNSO charter allowing it to ignore ICANN when it doesn't like what it says.
