"you can't really route around ICANN anyway, they control all the numbers"
ICANN does not control all of the numbers and
more importantly, ICANN does not control the
ROUTING RELATIONSHIPS.
ICANN and the corrupt RIRs are certainly going
to help destroy a lot of Routing Relationships.
[Stay tuned as parents filter ANY name server
IP block that supports .XXX]
ICANN also does not control BANDWIDTH. They sort
of understand Bandwidth by focusing on expensive
face-to-face meetings in remote places where their
critics will not show up.
The Consumer Root without .XXX and .ORG will go
a long way to protecting people from the Internet
Society and the naive academics who think that
all the world is a campus-like setting where
coeds provide free-love each night.

ICANN does have ultimate authority over the entire IP range. You can't get from here to there without using those numbers, I don't care if you're China, if you use an alt root, or even new.net. That is at a higher level and you can tweak or choose there somewhat, but if push comes to shove no bits move over other than ICANN controlled chokepoints. Most parents wouldn't know how to filter ANY name server IP block that supports .XXX, it makes little sense to do so anyway, and regardless it is all still within ICANN's controlled space. ICANN doesn't need to control bandwidth, why would they bother? This is yet another red herring. Regarding your apparent distaste for academics, we wouldn't have an internet were it not for academia, and many of ICANN's most perceptive critics are within academia. Perhaps you'd like to point out where this consumer root is and the number of users. I've never heard of it so I assume it's just something else you've made up. -g
