I agree with 99% of the above, but for the idea that there needs to be no control. Someone has to perform the IANA roll of handing out numbers.
Even looking at the so-called "inclusive roots" there are problems. Either they don't talk to the others (e.g. new.net) or they form an association, which "[seeks] to foster cooperation among TLD holders to advance the cause of building a stable namespace", which, to me, looks a lot like the DNS functions of ICANN.
It's all a bit like phone numbers. If I dial a number, I want to be sure that *whatever* phone I use, I will get through to the person I want. Ditto physical addresses. The "unique address" is an important attribute for *all* addressing systems. This isn't the model that the various non-USG/ICANN/"offical"/"legacy" roots currently offer.
I don't like ICANN, but I don't rate the alternatives much either, at the moment.
