I think what I was trying to say is that there's no advantage (or reason) for a single country to administer the Internet, because it is much bigger than that now. It might have started as a US military project, but it's grown into something taking in many corporations, governments, govermental agencies, and organisations of local, national and international standing (and anyone else I've missed).
Take the global phone system. The various areas, regions and companies largely look after themselves, occasionally a new country appears out of the woodwork and requires a new international code, but apart from that, very little decision making is needed at an international level with the phone system. I don't see the Internet as being all that different.

...Which probably means that any reform of ICANN has either got to come from ICANN or from the Department of Commerce. Do the DoC see the same things that many posters to this site do?ICANN haven't done anything so heinous that requires a UN Security Council Resolution (yet).
Of course, the Internet being what it is, it would be not be too difficult for others to write ICANN out of the equation, either via "Internet Keywords" or "Alternative/Inclusive/Open Roots".
